trans swap

Is it a bad idea to try a T5 swap in my 92150? I know crossmember, shaft, and 3rd pedal need to be fabbed. I wanted to change over from an AODE. Is this at all possible??

I'd find a manual donner truck ,to borrow the peddles and computer , trans,. as well as steering column. To Start with. Fabing stuff take alot more $ in the end. but if you got time anythings possible.

Bleagh!

Put an M5R2 or a ZF in there! The T-5 is a car transmission. The gear ratios are all wrong, and they're not meant for hauling the weights that a truck can haul.

the reasoning behind this is that I do have a T5 sittin in the closet and ive been having trans problems. However I did secure a trans from a cargo van that has a wiring harness(2 plugs), how do I tell what kind and if it will fit my 5.0? thanks tony

i agree that tranny is all wrong for a truck. you could sell it easily though to any mustang nut. the m5 trannies are garbage to so figure on a zf or np435. is this a 2wd or 4wd truck
