ecp48 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I don't know what a T-45 is, but a mustang belhousing will allow you to connect a T-5 to your engine. The same bell housing can also be used for the other Mustang alternative transmissions. You would need to use the throwout bearing slave combination whcih fits inside your bellhousing, as the Mustang used a cable. Alternatively, some Ford F-100s with the 5.0 used a stick bellhousing, which had a boss for the external slave cylinder. You would need to check an interchange book or go to the bone yards. ecp48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecp48 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Try some of the mustang sites. If the "T-45" is anything special, someone must have tried to hook it to a 5.0 in a 93 or older Mustang and the info will be posted. ecp48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB 240Z Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The T-45 has a bellhousing that is an integral part of the transmission case, much like the later Datsun 5-speeds. This is a problem because the bellhousing to block bolt pattern is also different so just bolting it to 5L isn't an inexpensive alternative. Unfortunately you can't just swap bellhousings in this case. I'm sure a solution can be built but I wonder if the cost would be more than a built up T5?
