Where to source transmission for 5 spd swap

[zach69grande 25]

Hello,

So I found a guy locally that's offering a T5, bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, clutch pedal and shifter for $850

It was in another guy's 69 coupe behind a 351. That dude is swapping out for a big block and wants something stronger than the T5. 

Sounds like a good deal to me, it's at a local shop of dudes that do nothing but build muscle cars and specifically mustangs. 

Looking on Ebay - i see some rebuilt trannies for less - but this one is claimed to have been rebuilt and only driven for about three summers with less than 20K on the tranny. 

 

I haven't gone to look at it yet... but I'm leaning pretty hard toward picking it up because I want to do the swap in my coupe. 

 

How does that sound for a package deal? 

What specifically should I peak at?

Any other places I should look to source a rebuilt T5 for a swap? Ebay, known websites, etc?
 

thanks for the insight!
