Z-TARD Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Found a T-45 out of a 97 mustang 4.6 at the junkyard, is there any one that makes an adapter for these to work on a Small Block Chevy? (I've searched on the web, but havent been able to find anything yet.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Not sure about the 4.6, but both McLeod and Lakewood make adapters for the 5.0 transmissions to Chevrolets. This month's Street Rodder has an article on adapting late model ODs or manual trans to older engines and lists several suppliers of adapters. Also Advance Adapters and Trans Dapt have adapters for Ford to Chevy, Advance is almost all trucks however. Just not sure if the 4.6 trans is the same as the 5.0 trans.

Guest Tht1KSguy Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 The T-45 has an integral bellhousing (ie. non-removable) and as far as I know no adapters exist. It is also not particularly strong being a T-5 variant, it was replaced after '99 I believe b/c of continued warranty claims. You'd be better off to find a T-5 out of a Camaro/Firebird... IMO.

Z-TARD Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Looked at the T45 closer today. The bellhousing IS removable, but it makes up the front half of the transmission case, so in a sense it is integral. dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
