The 93 Cobra T-5z and actually all 93 and later V-8 T-5's have phosphate coated gears. Not a big deal but a small difference.

For some reason I am thinking the blocker rings are made of a different material

They're carbon fiber. First gear ratio is 2.95 & 5th gear ends up at .59 if I remember right. I put a Z-Spec gearset & synchros in my T-5 when I rebuilt it along with all new seals & bearings.

That is what I was thinking but didn't want to say for sure.

5th was .63 in mine

Yep, you're right about the .63 5th. I'm not sure why I was thinking .59. I pretty much only reused the case, mainshaft, & 5th gear/synchro.
