There are a couple places that sell the adapter... If you get the more expensive one, no machine work is required, and you use the volvo bellhousing along with the volvo clutch hardware like release bearing and the cable, since non of that would change. The only trick will be finding the correct diameter clutch thats the T5 mustang 10 spline. From what I have read on T-bricks the shifter location is pretty close, and with a little work to the shifter (building one that is like a "S" to get it back farther) its pretty decent. The rear mount will have to be custom, but I don't see that as a big deal. According to our supplier here at work, the diesel clutch interchanges with the B230FT turbo gas cars. However, the clutch kit with the disc is only shown to fit the diesel cars, so I'm guessing its the disc that different. I'll just have to measure the flywheel, and find a disc thats the correct size and center. I'll also find the specs for the diesel clutch thickness and compare to make sure I get correct clutch clamping force. From what I hear over on T-bricks, those guys use a 6 puck sprung disc with the turbo diesel p-plate and have good luck holding 250hp or better.
