swap questions???
 

well guys, im a rookie so fell free to be brutual on me, but i have an 84 gt with a 302 and 5 speed tranny(t5) i think, i was wondering what kind of problems i would run into if i am trying to drop them into a 65 coupe?

RE: swap questions???
 

if your wondering if the block will fit with the t-5 then I you have nothing to worry about. If the coupe was an automatic you'll need to modify the trans mount bracket or get a new one. My coupe was origionally an inline 6, and I had no problems dropping in my 302.

do you want to keep it fuel injected or have it carburated when installing it in ur stang?? if your looking for some parts...go to mustangsplus.com they can help you with parts to covert ur stang like the trany mount and other stuff.

RE: swap questions???
 

its carburated, so i imagine ill stick with that

If you're swapping out the blocks, shouldn't be a problem. If you're going from an auto to manual (which is what I'm going to be doing when I get back home) you'll probably need a new tranny crossmember, which Mustangs Plus sells. They'll also have a clutch cable or hydraulic setup you can get. As far as getting the clutch pedal I'd reccomend National Parts Depot, as on their web site they have a catalog that actually will break it down by each specific part (like at the dealer) so you know exactly what you need and make sure you get it. just my two cents...
