Sounds like you have it all figured out. The video was interesting. I didn't know the OD worked that way. It is good to use the original bell housing. Will you use the floor starter? That alone is a theft deterrent now days. Good deal finding someone to make the adapter, the more direct bolt up the better! I'm sure there is a clutch plate out there if you can find it. I worked at CarQuest and had access to catalogs with pictures and specs when I put the T-5 in mine. I think that OD ratio with your rear end gearing will be good. No matter what you will be better off then you were.
