Jwink25 Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I am supposed to be doing a 280ZXT swap in my 240Z but, I have come across a deal. I would trade my 67 Cougar that needs restored for a complete and running 5.0 engine and a 5 speed out of a V6 stang. Would the V6 5 speed hold up every long under the load of a stock 5.0? I heard of people doing this. The Z is a much lighter car...would the shock load to the tranny be any less? If I don't dump the clutch at every stop light could I get the V6 tranny to last a while? Another question, what do I need to change on the V6 tranny to get it to work. I think I need a different pilot bushing...anything else? The high cost of building up my turbo engine to 350 HP has got me considering the 5.0 swap again. I already have the 5.0 mounts. I could just sell all my turbo stuff and put that money into the brakes and stuff. Give me some feed back guys... Thanks! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwink25 Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 This link states that the current V6 Mustangs 5 speed is rated at 300fts. http://moderndriveline.tripod.com/moderndriveline/id14.html But it doesn't say which years it applies to. If it's true...then they are as strong as the older V8 ones...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1320the260 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 the V6 5 speed is just a T 5, they are rated at 300lb ft after 91 i believe... just before the T5Z was introuduced... one of my good friends is a big mustang builder and he said that after 91 the T5 was rated at 300 or over...

Guest 1320the260 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 the input shaft is more than likely a different diameter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
