Found some more interesting stuff about the shifter.
The mustang shifter has a long plate that goes out in front, and would interfere with the stock shifter box in my plan. It also has these weird rounded edges that go around the trans.
Plan is to have a chunk of aluminum that bolts onto the stock shifter "box" and extends past the end of the trans. And then bolt a shifter onto that. Well it turns out the s10 shifter has an almost square mounting plate, and mounts on a flat surface. So no hacking up the stock shifter.
Oh and my roommate has an s10 with a t5, and is out of town until mid january
