I have a 91 f-150 2wd with a 5.0L I was wondering can I swap a T5 into my truck.

 

Oh ya I guess a little more info might help. It has a 5spd in it right now however I'm not sure what type it is and the truck is miles away from me because the old man is using it until he gets his new desiel. The reason I ask this is because I would like to use the 5.0 for another project I'm working on but I need a T5 tranny in order to put it together. can anyone please tell me if they will go together or not?

 

It's possible and would probably go in with some effort but it's not really strong enough. You'll probably break it relatively quick.

 

really okay I need some schooling here if you people dont mind.

first sorry my bad I posted up in the wrong spot

second isnt a borg warner T5 tranny made for 5.0l mustangs? I thought they came equipped with these in the early 90's. The reason why is when I searched for info on them all I could find is info about mustangs. The conversion kit I'm looking for to adapt a Toyota T-case can either be done with a T5 or a C4. If the t5 is to week then I'm going to have to aproch this totally different way and mabey go with an older 5.0

 

The T-5 was behind several 5.0 mustangs...it's rated at 330ft-lbs of torque. However, the gearing on it, is not appropriate for a much heavier pickup, and the extra weight of the pickup puts added strain on the transmission....something the T-5 was not designed to handle. You can probably get it in there...but...it's not something people really do.

 

the only t5 that is rated at 330 ft pounds is the 95 cobra isn't it. the rating on the t5's vary from the mid 200's to 330. they were used from 83 i believe to 95 i think. they won't hold up in a truck. they barely hold up in the mustangs.
