T5 behind a 390CID

mspears · 02-28-2001, 09:17 AM

I would love to ditch the old 3speed.
Is it possable to bolt a T5 to an FE motor?
If so, where can I get a bell housing?

Thanks,
Mark

You might be able to use your bellhousing
and a adapter plate to match up with the T-5.
If your 390 is modified i would think about
other transmission like the tremec 3550 or TKO. The T-5 is rate for 300lbs to 330lbs
depending on model you get. The 1990 and
newer are the stronger type. I would call
Mustangs Plus or www.windsor-fox.com for
info about trans adapters.
