mustang t-5 swap

[jhowell34]

anyone ever try the mustang t-5 swap

[Rolling_Thunder]

that is kind of broad...   a mustang T5 swap into a mustang ? a mopar ? what year trans ?     

The downside to the T5 is the strength - they are considered very weak and generally dont work well behind most mopar engines...      I have seen one in an early A body with a small 318 in it...    just a nice cruiser...       

what did you want to know about it ?

i was thinking bout installin it behind a 451 stroker

[Rolling_Thunder]

as stated - the downside to the T5 is the strength...     the transmission is a good design but lackluster compared to the TKO series trans...         it could work - just make sure the car never hooks up on the street or you'll be picking up pieces for a while.

If healthy 5.0s are breaking them, I wouldn't anticipate a long life behind a mopar unless you baby it

I have a friend that went through 4 of them behind a 347 in a light Mustang before manning up and getting a Tremec.
As stated, I can't imagine one lasting behind a big block in a heavier car.
