yes, it will bolt right in. Same clutch setup is used on both. Use the non-turbo driveshaft and differential with your NA transmission. If this was an NA car to begin with, then you're set.

If those clutch fingers are a lot stronger than stock, it is highly suggested that you install all new clutch hydralic hardware. New or rebuilt clutch master, slave, and rubber hose. The added force might cause the old used system to eventually burst somewhere.

S10s are a threat to you? Hmmm ...

My '84 Mustang V6 holds its own on the street ... bone stock, with a 3-speed auto. Soon to be turbocharged

I've always shifted around 5500rpm, as I believe the powerband drops significantly past there. I dunno, your car could be different ... or not have valve float like mine.

How does an '84 Mustang V6 auto compare to a 94 Mustang V6 auto? ...because I've driven a 94 and it was dog slow. The Mustang V6 5-speed can hold right up with my NA 280ZX 5-speed.

Excellence, s/cL3.0 ...

I guess what I meant by "holding it's own" on the road was that it beats most ricers out here. When everybody else's car drives like you're autocrossing a UPS truck, you tend to have an edge. There's really no difference between an '84 and a '94, aside from power delivery, which is where my car excels (the '84 has slightly more torque over a broader range than a '94 auto ... the 5-speed has me by about 30 ft. lbs. I think)
