Even if it would bolt up I wouldn't think it would last long.

auto won't, but the t5 will if u swap the bell housing and clutch i think. but the 4 cyl t5s cant handle as much power as a 5.0 t5 so i recomend a new tranny for your swap

is it 5 speed? if so, you can do it, but dont expect to get much out of it if you're powershifting etc. use it as a temporary thing until you can get a world class if you absolutely have to be using the car.

ok normal driving will work with the tranny...how about highway driving...i mean this could be a temp thing until i can find a t-5 for the 5.0....so i mean if i do daily driving and don't furnout(burn out at all or not to much like once or twice when i get the 5.0 in there...lol..sry my friend love that i have a mustang even though it looks like ****)....but i mean highway...i drive highway everyday twice everyday...so thanks for the info its really exciting to know that i can use it
