Ok so I had an 89' 5.0 that I wrecked well I go ahold of a 4cylinder (it's an 88')and I'm pulling everything out of it and putting everything from the v8 into the 4cylinder. But my question I have someone that ones wants the tranny from the 4cyclinder to put in his 5.0 auto to convert to a manual. Will it work out right and bolt up to everything? He says it will but I talked to someone else and he told me he doesn't think it would be strong enough for the v8 coming from a 4cylinder. I don't know if I should sell it to him b/c he's my friend and if I know it wont work I don't want to cause trouble or anything for him. Also when I pull the 4cylinder someone told me to try and sell it b/c someone can use it as a dirt track car in a 4cylinder class like stock 4 or something. Is that true if so I will keep it and build a race car b/c I want to race a dirttrack car.



On a different note...I graduated today!! YAY

i do believe it works, many people have used the 4 cyl trannys with 5.0s because they have higher ratios or something

torque rating is lower and the pilot shaft diameter is smaller

it can be done but not worth it at all imo

Not All T-5's are Created Equal
Not all Borg Warner T-5's are the same. The first T-5 five speeds were introduced to market in 1982, in all things, a AMC Spirit/Concord. In 1983, T-5's were introduced to Mustangs and are currently still used in the V-6 Mustangs. The T-5 is the only American made standard transmission to span almost 20 years of production. Because of the large quantities of T-5's produced, many parts are interchangeable. There are now over 200 different T-5 transmission assembly part numbers and still counting.
