I'm doing a 3.8 to 5.0 swap in my 98 stang & was wanting to know besides beefing up the trans internals are there any other road blocks in mating up the 3.8 trans to the 5.0 engine. I know that the bolt patterns are the same.

 

are you using the modular trans, or a pushrod trans?

 

pushrod trans.

 

well if its a push rod 3.8 then your 5.0l will drop right into place cause the 3.8 and 5.0l have the same pounting points and same bell housing as this applys to the 5.8 to

 

Do they use the same flex plates?

 

I dont belive so but you need one for the balence of the 302 i think dont take my word on it but wait till some1 else chimes in

 

Thanks for the info.
