5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
Anybody ever heard of a "z spec" gear upgrade? My local t5 rebuilder said he can do it. Otherwise what gearset should i choose for a budget rebuild?, i cant afford the high end like astro.
the physical design and overall weight of the t5 make it incapable to withstand large amounts of hp and torque for long periods of time, z spec, g force...whatever the hell it is internals....its still a t5. especially with powershift and hard launches you'll significantly reduce the life of a t5.
if you're going big...save for a TKO. less money in the long run.
not just the tranny. different bellhousing,clutch,cross member,shifter,=more weight than t-5 also.
tremec transmissions use stock fox bellhousings, stock fox clutch forks, the tko 500 uses the 10 spline (stock) clutch, and they come with a shifter (new) and the crossmember issue... cut the tack welds on your stocker, slide it back and have it re-welded after the trans is in
If you went TKO600, you only need a new clutch disk... not a whole clutch
