I think I'm leaning toward a 250 with a T5 for my daily driver car. I like the advice to stick with parts that are available from donor cars so that when they break they can be easily replaced. Is there a donor car that can provide a hydraulic or cable clutch that will work for a 1965 mustang using the T5 bell housing? If so, and I'm understanding everything, the 250 will bolt directly to the T5 which needs a cable or hydraulic clutch. The entire setup will be available from recycle yards. Thanks in advance for your input.

Im sure there are people on this site that may have a better handle on this in the USA, however, down here the crossflow never came with the T5, and there are cable and hydraulic clutch arrangements for the crossflow six, it is a matter of what model Falcon.
The hydraulic clutches have the fork poking out of your drivers side of the bellhousing (our non drivers) and the cable setup comes out the opposite side.
Nearly all the crossflow bellhousings are iron.
Hope this giudes you somewhat>

No, it was the Borg Warner 0507, variously called the jap box, the taiwanese box, or the piece of sh it.
Same box as the 0506, but with an extra gear.

Thanks for the clarification! I know they were pretty weak, hence the reason they were only put behind wheezy 3.3L motors.

The 200 was too much for that box, they broken in Commodores with 173's and 2.0L Sigma's.
