" Hi, I have a AMC 360 engine and I would like to install a Mustang GT T5 Transmission.
" do you know if that is possible? And what parts would I need to do the installation? 

it's been done.

several mid/late '70s - '80s amc bellhousings would work, but probably
easiest would be a late '70s t150 3sp or early-mid '80s jeep t170 4sp
bell.  these are ford toploaders and have the wide rectangle pattern,
but the bells should also have spots to drill and tap for the
sr4/t4/t5 one if that hasn't been done already.  these bells also have
the right retainer hole size, which amc sr4/t4/t5 don't have.

you'll also want for a t150: throwout bearing and clutch disc - which
i think are ford parts - and crank pilot bushing.

maybe: use gm t5 bearing retainer and throwout bearing on 5.0 t5, to
fit amc sr4/t4/t5 bell.

be aware the strongest production 5.0 t5s are rated only 300 ft-lbs,
well under what a 360 can make.  treat first gear gently.
