fstfish, it didn't. I had to notch the torsion bar crossmember to make it fit. I welded the crossmember to the floor pan on both sides of the cut out and I used a 1/4" steel plate on the inside of the car over top of the crossmember on both side as well. welded the plate to the floorpan over...

thanks fstfish, good to know about G force.I have rebuilt 3 T5s myself now using stock parts with good success. I don't beat on my cars either. I rebuilt one for my friend that he put in his 64 Falcon with a stroker motor. He made several passes down the strip with it several weeks ago with no...

A couple of other little things that I learned doing this swap. Speedometer cable for a 1967 Ford Fairlane fits our A bodies perfect when using a T5. Change the speedometer drive gear on the tailshaft of the T5 to a black 6 tooth gear. This makes choosing a gear for the speedometer cable that...

fstfish, My T5 is from a 92 mustang gt. The 1st gear is 3.35 and the o.d. is .68. Ford T5s have a 10 spline input shaft. The idea setup for my car would be the optional gear set which has a 2.95 1st gear and the o.d. gear is .63. I have an extra T5 that I plan on building with the 2.95 gear set...

2 summers in my Dart on a T5 that I rebuilt myself with no issues. I love my overdrive. I am actually going to build a second T5 with a taller 2.95 first gear. Hoping to be able to get a little track time at Putnam Park Raceway next summer. Go with a hydraulic throwout bearing from Ram clutch...

I may have picked the wrong one from the list. I only thought that they had a slip on one for the ford T5. I was only implying that the hydraulic t.o. bearing eliminates a few other components and is a lot cleaner installation. I believe someone else is using a similiar style hyd t.o. bearing...

No advantage to using the ford parts other than they have been used with the T5 trans for years. Just easier to buy them and modify the bellhousing as opposed to mixing mopar parts and guessing if they would work. I can purchase mustang parts anywhere if I ever breakdown on the road.The CNC...

Ok, I compiled a list of parts that i used to complete my installation. i'm not saying that this is the best way and I'm sure there are other similiar parts that will do the same job.This is what works in my car. Stock a body clutch pedal assy.-don't need the big spring if you use a hyd...

Alright guys. Did my first 40 mile road trip today to the frame shop. 2200 rpm at 70 mph in overdrive. Nice! no vibrations. .68 overdrive gear and 26" tires with 3.91 suregrip. Hydraulic clutch works flawlessly and smooth. It took a lot of work but I am happy with the finished product.

The T45 trans is for the Ford modular engine. 4.6 and 5.4. they have a different bellhousing and bolt pattern for the housing. To my knowledge no one builds a different bellhousing for them to be used on anything else. Don't quote me though. People come up with new stuff all the time.

Socal, that adapter is crazy looking and you have the hydraulic t.o. bearing that i wanted to try.hope it works out for you. what's that old saying," more than 1 way to skin a cat." I will be doing my first real road test next week. Have to have my front frame pulled a little to square things up...

Socal, should be a nice swap. Not sure about your ride, but we put a t5 in my buddy's Fairlane. he is running a 3.55 rear. anything under 2500 rpms in 5th gear and his car chuggs. not enough rpms to make it run. Have to shift it back into 4th to run comfortable until he reaches about 75mph...

The shifter boot is one that I picked up from the local autoparts store made by spectre. They make a small size and a large size. The small wouldn't do the job. I'm sure that Hurst makes one that is similar. As far as the gearing goes i think what i have is going to be perfect for what I want to...

Also on another quick note. I did another test drive with my car after installing a sure grip & 3.91 gears. With my 3.35 first gear, 26" tires and the 3.91 I noticed that i ran out of 1st gear pretty quick. Not too bad. I think i might need a little taller rear tire if i go with a bigger gear...

Ok, I've had some questions about what kind of shifter boot to use. This is what i came up with. I made a hump to mount my boot assy to since the floor contour was too sharp to bend the boot retainer around. I has an old school feel to it and will work for now. I will probably cover it with the...

I'm using a T5 from a 92 gt stang. Just bought my 21 tooth speedo gear on ebay for 17.00.

Mshred, I modified my auto trans mount bracket and I used a stock ford transmission mount for a mustang. they make a tall mount and a short mount. I used the tall mount i think from a 67 stang. as far as the gear for the speedo goes it depends on your tire diameter. i just bought a 3.91 sure...

the hydraulic throwout bearing rides against the fingers. It will have some pressure against the fingers. I can't tell you how much. You will probably have to play with it. Install with as many shims as is needed to have it ride against the fingers. Then bleed the system until maximum exstension...

Glad to hear that your vibe is gone and the tranny is working good. I've got a 3.23 gear as well. My friend is running the same tranny in his fairlane and he has a 3.55 gear which i think is too tall also. I was thinking either a 3.73 or a 3.91 might be perfect. Still doing bodywork and having...

Got the Dart running again yesterday. This time no leaks. I was able to road test it through my neighborhood. Clutch worked flawless. very smooth to operate. I couldn't go too far being my car is still missing all the front sheetmetal.

I finally got mine running on Saturday. No vibs to speak of and the throttle response was awesome. Car moves foward and reverse . Clutch seems to work great. :cheers:That's when I noticed I had a coolant leak. Head gasket was leaking between cyl 5 & 7. Dohh!!! I put the motor together a couple...

actually keisler makes the billet adapter but they use a Wilwood master. I think the bore is .75" . not sure of the stroke but they have it listed on their website. It's the biggest one they make. I tried to think of a way to make my own adapter so that I would have to buy Keisler's but just...

In the bottom of the picture is the master cylinder with a 2 piece gold colored bracket attached to it. That bracket attaches to the firewall using the stock 4 speed linkage hole and angles the rod up to attach to the clutch pedal under the dash. If you look back at the pics that I posted I...

the 2 piece metal bracket that is attached to the master cylinder that bolts up to the firewall. a lot easier to fabricate than the one that I purchased from Kiesler. I could have made that myself and just bought the Wilwood master myself for a lot cheaper.

Hey guys. I came across another website that has a simpler bracket design for a hydraulic master cylinder for the A bodies. So simple to make I wish I had thought of it. Here's the link. http://www.thedrivenman.com/mopar/transmissions/clutch-link-kit.html I don't know if they sell there...

Moper keep us posted. sounds cool. Unfortunately I'm back in Jersey now for a 2 week deal and won't get to touch my car for a while. I have to redo my engine wiring harness and relocate my battery before I can fire it up and test out my T5 setup. I hate being in Newark but I did get to go check...

Good deal. I was going to offer to send my stuff to you since I won't be needing it

mshred, did your bell come with any brackets or ball for the dodge components?

Fish, I used the ford stang fork. My bell was only drilled for the Dodge. I tapped and drilled it for a Ford ballstud. ford stud is opposite side of bell from dodge. I have seen some pics of other quicktime bells that were drilled for the ford but mine wasn't. I think the pic of mshred's bell...
