Good advice all around, thanks guys.

When looking at the multiple threads on T5 swaps it is my understanding that the T5 Before 1993 will bolt up to my BH with a spacer.. but i'll guess i'll never know due to the lack of these boxes here.
I am currently looking at a Volvo M4 gearbox from a 70's volvo (4 speed full synchro)
Seen some conversions over at the H.A.M.B that are stunning, if it happens ill do a write up.
