So I posted a thread a few days ago with this title and no one replied, which was no big deal. In that time I have however, come in to possession of a 5spd transmission from a 1990 mustang that had been bolted to a 2.3L. So the question is, will I be able to use this on my 79 351w with any difficulties? Also, does anyone know anything about Maverick parts? Thanks!

 

from my limited knowledge, you will need a new bellhousing to adapt to 351w

 

ive also heard that the input shaft is shorter on the 4cyl models then the v8 ones

 

for one that tranny wont hold up to a v8 power and its geared wrong and wrong input shaft i think.You need a v8 t5 What kinda maverick parts?

 

gearing is an issue and it wont hold up for the amount of power your 351 will produce

 

Thanks! That means I can get it out of my shop! Haha. The maverick parts are a clutch assembly and I was just curious to see if it would fit in my 70 coupe.
