I have run the standby T-5 behind 302/5.0 engines without problem and have a T-5 from a 1994 3.8 V-6 Mustang to put behind a straight six in my daughters Ranchero. I have an oportunity to buy a T-45 from a 1998 Mustang with a 4.6 and 200,000 miles. I have a couple of questions.

#1 I would imagine that the bellhousing of a 4.6 and a 302/351C would be different but I have no definative facts on that. Anyone know?

#2 Will a T-45 transmission bolt up to a bellhousing from a 5.0 T-5 combo?

#3 What would be a reasonable price to pay for a T-45?

#4 At 200,000 miles would there be any extreme concern of anything being beyond service or repair?
Without being able to disassemble I dont know if I would buy if it wasnt cheap I wouldnt pay more than core price for it.Less than 200.
As for bolt up unsure of this.

Thank you 1969 JimMach,
The link helped answer some questions. To me it doesn't sound like a feasible swap - a good T-5 makes better since. I appreciate the help.
You are welcome.I like the T-5 myself.
