    The T5 was a running change during the 1983 model year in Mustang GT's. All 1983 Mustang GT's built before December of 1982 were SROD cars. Some cars made in December of '82 and all 83 GT's produced in 1983 had T5's. An SROD bell housing will NOT bolt up to a T5. If your bell housing does bolt up to a T5, then it is a T5 bell housing.
