It might... I think OzHemi had to notch a wee bit out of his t-bar x-member to fit the T-5 behind his Hemi6. There may also be some potential to swap tailhousings with something from an S-10 truck or something that pulls the shifter tower forward. Maybe too far forward, but it's something to check. I know the guys over on slant6.org have done a lot of work swapping T-5's in to early A's, so it might be worth a look over there to see what they did.

Yep, I had to trim the upper part of the torsion bar crossmember abit, but other then that was not too big a deal, and made the car a ton better to drive versus the old 4 speed (original borq warner Aussie box)
I used a WC T-5 from a Mustang GT...
The cross member I made, along with a stock one for comparison..
