How many of you run a 2.3L transmission behind your 5.0? The reason I ask is cause I found a fresh rebuilt transmission with bellhousing and clutch...ect for 500 bucks. I need a new transmission mine is completly shot and I thought this was a good price could I get some opinions on it? I know some people say don't do it but others say you can. It will be matted up to a 302 HO thats stock for now. Future upgrades might be a stroker kit and mild cam (long ways off could easily replace trans with a tremec at that point) Car would be a daily driver with maybe the occassional auto cross. Thank you in advance

you can get your V-8 T-5 rebuilt for cash that price if you do the removal of the tranny yourself.

I guess I should restate. My second gear is toast and would have to be replaced. I have been quote over 1000 to do this. also according to that new one the 94 gt have a diff input length is this true? my 302 HO is out of a 92. if thats the case would this t5 work on mine?

one new one for a v-8 in the link, and the other with 30 k only at a $200 bid and one hour

isn't it possible that used one is off a 2.3? I didn't see where it said it was from a 5.0

Duh...... thats what happens after 12 hours of work and like 3 hours of sleep.


So basically your saying to just buy one specifically for a 5.0 motor like the new one and if need bed swap the clutch and stuff? am I catching your drift? that last one doesn't say it's rebuilt just says cleaned but it seems like a good price no?

aode08

they are both good and the price decent
