afaik the t4 is just an improved sr4, mostly the same.

nope; o/d was the t5.

also t150 and i think some t18.  afaik the bell lasted later into the
'80s ['86?] in jeeps.

the sr4/t4/t5 do not share bolt pattern or retainer diameter with the
t96 and t14.  if you really want one, i still think your best bet is
the '94-up mustang t5 with the longer input shaft, and a homegrown
adapter plate as i've previously described on the bellhousing.  used
with v8s only a couple of years but v6s went to '00 or '01 and have a
better 5th too.
