Well, I have been doing some research about doing a T5 swap into a 1st-gen Mustang. I think I might already have most of the parts, but I want to ask around before I drop the hammer.
What I have is an '84 GT 347 with a T5. My concern is that having a stripped down race car just doesn't appeal to me much anymore (I've had it since I was 17...I'm now almost 30). So I've been thinking about buying my girlfriend's brother's '65.
His car WAS an original 6 cylinder car. However, someone before him yanked the 200 and put in a junkyard 302. This car could make a GREAT cruiser. And it already has many upgrades (5-lug conversion, SSBC disc brakes, fiberglass cowl hood, Torque Thrust wheels, Tri-Y's with Flowmasters). The interior is pretty nice on his car...so if this T5 conversion gets the green light, I could have a rear end swap and a paint job keeping us from having a GREAT summer cruiser!
I really just have three questions about putting my engine/
trans in his car.
1. Since I already have a functional engine/clutch/
trans, can this swap be as simple as buying the clutch cable conversion from
Modern Driveline?
2. Should the Tri-Y's work with the T5?
3. Does anyone have any pictures of their conversion?
