You'll probably have to use a Ford V8 T5. The inputs shafts are LONGER on the V6 and 4 cylinder ones.

I believe there might be a different length from 94 on but I know atleast the 4 cys had a smaller pilot shaft size and I believe lower first for 4 cyl cars, which was more breakable, I don't know about the V6. If you can use the 4 cyl trans it should be cheaper since it is not as desireable with the mustang croud.

Why wouldn't you want to use the GM T5?

It is the bell housing that will tilt the drive line not the Transmission correct?

I'm thinking

Camaro 3.8l Clutch, Flywheel => 94-95 s10 bellhousing => GM T5?

The 94/95 bellhousing has the Ford bolt pattern, not the GM.
