I am just starting my project and have access to a free 3.4 litre and T5 5speed. Although I see other V6 conversions in other forums, I did not see one for the 3.4. If there is one or if someone has any info on them, plse advise and thanks in advance.

MNope the 95 Camero with 3.4 and T5 was a RWD. I have to move the gear shift opening back about 2.5 to 3 inches and new cross member and drive shaft, motor mounts etc. but other than that it will drop right in. HAHA ya right

I just bought a Mustang T5 which I plan to use with a Ford 302 V8 in the Alpine. The think the shifter location is too far back and will cut into the cross bracing, so I am probably going to change the tail section for a more forward shifter.
