At first my initial thought was no. But I dug out some spare delrin plates and tried them on my old hyperform car (12l4 graphite conversion w/ tubes) It fits with both graphite pieces attached as well. This was a 3 bolt rear pod, the 4 bolt rear pod should work as well since the rev 4.5 used the 4 bolt pod and the rev 5 uses the same bottom plate.
You may have to dremel a bit of your bottom pod plate from your tbar car to get the motor to sit flush against the pod plate though. You also need a tweak brace with damper tubes as well which the t force has, but the 12l series do not. Your results may vary.
Measure the rear plates holes. My hyperform car measures about 60.5mm from center to center of the holes.
Edit: Another thing to consider that just popped in my head. The ballstud on the rev5 is mounted back compared to a tbar car. The distance to the shock mount may be further since the t bar pushes it closer to the front of the car.
