I think the shifter will line up, based on articles I've seen about swapping T5s into first gen 'Stangs. I know you'd need a different bellhousing ('79-'83 Mustang, or Tremec), and the driveshaft yoke is probably different. You might have better luck in the classic tech room, at least some of those guys have probably done the reverse swap.
top loader in a 86 mustang?
I want to know if a ford toploader 4 speed will fit into a 86 mustang without cutting the floor pan, and if the shifter will fit the factory console. Any advice will help. thanx

I am pretty sure you will need to 'massage' the floorpan an d console to make it fit.
The toploader uses an entirely different shifter design, which will make for a tight fit in a fox tunnel.
