Do what I did and use the standard JH pilot bearing and turn down the transmission input shaft to match. Alternatively, you could always machine the crank to accept a Ford pilot bearing.
The JH pilot bearing (transmission input shaft o/d) is the common " Chevy 0.590" ". Most 4cyl Mustangs come standard with a 8-1/2" clutch and .590" input shaft.
For a complete choice of T5s check the following link:

You obviously want a later "World Class T5" with 907 friendly gear ratios. My choice would be a 5sp from a 1994-97 3.8L Mustang. The only 'hard' part is having the input shaft turned down from 0.66" to 0.590".
After comparing ratios, lengths, bellhousings, etc. I abandoned my quest for a T5 solution and went with the W58.
Please post some pics of your bellhousing when you can.
