    Hello there.

    I am swaping my engine and transmission on my Ford Maverick. My doubt is will this part (for mustang) work on my Maverick?

    There are two options, Mustang 65-66 and 67-70

    My doub is, will this works on my Maverick or is it just Mustang compatible?

    Forgot to say it more clearly, it's a 302 engine and a Tremec T5 Transmission.

    I used the stock V8 crossmember. Turned it around backwards and welded on a "back porch" since the T5 mounting pad is 1-1/2" farther rearward than on the original trans.
