99 Mazda b2500 soon to be b5000: Which t5 will bolt on a v8 swap?

Hello All,

new to the forum but super excited about this swap. Also apologize for the noob questions.

Picked up a 2000 mountaineer 5.0 and am looking for a trans.

As I’ve been doing “some” research I’ve noticed that the t5 has a few shifter locations. I’m hoping to not need to cut the floor if possible. Just wondering which version of the t5 and/or from which year/model will have the correct bell housing that will just bolt on to this 2000 5.0.

thanks in advance.
