Try this article: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...y/Turbos.shtml

And here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...oInstall.shtml

The Ford T9 was not a good trans for Turbos, T5 would be better for down the road or an 1989-1997 M5OD-R1 from a 2.3l SOHC Ranger 2WD

You need the T5 bell housing from a 2.0l/2.3l SOHC engine, most common in Mustangs during that time frame
The T5 shifter is quite far back in most versions, so custom shift arm is needed, OR some use the shifter housing from the T5 used in S10 pickups, which moves the shifter farther forward
