I may have stumbled upon a really good deal for a t5, only $150 for the bellhousing and everything. It came out of a 5.0 LX, I'm not sure of the year but I will get the casting number to clear that up. The only problem is it is back home in Detroit so I will need to ship it out to myself while I'm at home for Christmas. I was trying to get a quote from UPS to get it shipped. I have been told it weights around 80 pounds so it falls in their normal rates because its below 150lbs. I also estimated it to be 4'x2'x'1 for dimension. How close am I for the dimensions, I need to know if its worth it to ship.

I was quoted about $80 for those specs.

 

its closer to 3 x 2 x 1. weight is pretty close

most of the bulk is the bell housing... It might be cheaper to ship the bell separately.
You might consider looking for a local bell on Craig's list and not shipping the one you have at all....Probably won't come out ahead and 80 is not too bad anyhow.

can always check it onto the plane! Drain the fluid, wrqp in plastic and tape and check it.! Who needs clothes you need that t5

 

Thanks Gun, I was hoping I was over estimating on the dimension. But with the looking at the local craigslist, I have been doing that for months now. In my area and multiple surrounding areas there isn't a single listing for a t5, that is why I was considering picking up the fox. I exhausted my local options and if I go further I will be paying the same for shipping as I would be for gas. I'm going home and Detroit is very convenient to pick up domestic car parts, especially parts people remove for better drag racing parts. And I imagine if I offer the guy $100 cash he will part with it considering the hard times back home.

And Monster I did consider that, military so I don't have to pay the extra bag fee.
