T5 borg warner swap..
1 Attachment(s)
So i just have a simple question for you all, atleast i hope it is lol..
I have a 65 swb 2wd with the 3 on the tree trans, not sure exactly what model but it was attached to a 240I even though i was told from the guy i bought it from it was a 300I but anyway, I am going to swap the old trans with a borg warner t5 with a 351w and have read a couple times that i could use the old bell housing with the t5 and will bolt on to the 351w is this true? any advice or suggestions will be very helpful.. |
I have a FE motor and had to use an adapter plate to mate mine but once it was attached to the bell the t5 mated right to it no problems
|
66 is right, I believe you do need a t5 to bell adapter plate. Here is an article that outlines what's needed for the swap:
T5 Swap, T5 Conversion, Mustang T5 Swap, Auto to Manual Transmission - FordMuscle |
You will want to confirm this, but I believe this is the adapter you will need:
McLeod 8607 | Buy McLeod Bellhousing Adapters & Accessories at JEGS There may be other options out there too. |
Thanks for the info... 66 did you use the stock drive shaft? if so did you have to shorten it?

ok, im not far from richmond so ill have to check into it.. thanks for the info, nice set up you have there too

if your t5 is a ford spec t5 just get a standard 85 93 5.0 bell housing. it will have the proper dimensions for the input shaft. 300 i6 has same bh pattern as small block fords. parts are plentiful.
|
appreciate the info bojo i will probably do that, cause like you said those parts are definitely a dime a dozen in my area.
