NO! the input shaft on the 4banger is a touch longer. Plus the 4banger's 1st gear in something like 4.0 to 1. That trans is only rated to something like 225ft lbs.

No, the SVO T-5 is different. It is actually an extra-heavy-duty FRPP "World Class" T-5 transmission is a "street legal" replacement for all fox body production T-5's. It's rated at 330 ft.lbs. of torque.

Take care,

i wanted to know if the 2.3 turbo tranny's fit on a 5.0, but i need to know for sure because im in desprate need of a tranny and i found 2 tbirds with those motors and trannys in them

ok lets get something straight the 4 cly tranny has a smaller diameter and is longer..the v8 has a bigger diameter and is shorter..yes it will bolt in.the gear ratio is different the 4cly is like 4.30to1 and the v8 is like 2.95 to 1..if the clutch chatters when you put the 4cyl tranny in its because the shaft is smaller and doesnt ride on the pilot bearing because its smaller.some people use these trannys in v8 because they have taller gear ratio and they shift into 4th gear better that the v8.not rated for much power but both trannys are weak neways..i have the world class t5 and rebuilt every year
