The stock T5 will get trashed behind those engines. You will be best off getting a TKO transmission.
I think the K-Member is the same but I am not 100%. Only way to be sure is to test fit it or call up QA1 or Maximum Motorsports and ask them, or ask the question here.
You should also change your suspension for the added weight.
You can actually get an engine managment system and have a nice fuel injected swap.
Just your choice though.
The driveshaft also isnt speed rated like the Cobra driveshafts are and the differential wont hold up either.
Remember too that the fuel pressure on the stock mustang is 38psi or so and the carb only needs 6-8psi if I remember correctly. So you will need a fuel pressure regulator.
well i've heard so many things i just want to swap my engine for now. need more power 3.8 single port isn't cutting it i feel left behind with this thing.
1. K-Member is fine 302 will bolt into it as long as i have the 302 engine mounts.
2. v6 drivetrain will be fine as long as im not beating on it. Need to keep the v6 bellhousing to avoid the shifter from having lineup issues on the transmission tunnel.
