Question 5.0 engine swap. need transmission help.

Ok. well i have a 1997 mustang and the good ole 3.8 took a dump awhile ago. i have the engine all pulled out and a 5.0 engine dropped in with all the wiring and such needed for the engine swap. the engine is out of a 89 lincoln mark V111. the lincoln was an AODE transmission. but i want too take my 5-speed transmission out of my other 97 parts car and put it behind the 5.0. what do i need too do this? im guessing im going too have too do some kind of wiring? im stuck at this point. the mustang i dropped the 5.0 into was also automatic so i also have too transfer everything else over from my parts car. the pedal, and resevior and so on. any help too how or what i need to do too put the 5-speed transmission behind the 5.0 would help tons. thanks -Dan

T5's will bolt up to the 5.0 directly. You may need to change the pilot bearing and install the pedals, etc. You will also need the 5 speed computer for the swap. There is no reservoir. The clutches are not hydraulic.......

You have a V6, so you would need the V6 computer out of the donor car......
