Welcome first of all! 95+% of the people doing the T-5 swap end up using a hydraulic set-up. Lots of different post on ways to use the hydraulic system. Even the newer Mustangs use it now. Sure others will add bunches of info. Will check later.

It was in the blue in Cgreys message. Try this:

Lots of different ways people have done it, even see a lot of guys on Mustang site using the hydraulic in the early ones.

I started with a 6x6x.25" hot rolled steel plate and cut & drilled what I needed from there.
