T5 swap

[MadMaxetc]

You will need an adaptor. $175 depending where you get it. You will need to make sure that the T-5 will handle the power and have the correct length of input shaft.

Read what I did on my 300 and apply it to your FE.

Let me know if you have any questions.

My 352 has the same wide bell housing that the T5 appears to have.

Is the depth the same?

I guess I will try to cal them tuesday

I would worry about chewing the guts out of a T5 with a big block. Ford only put them in behind small blocks and smaller...

Just my $0.02 worth.

DO, you are correct. You need to be sure of the torque that you are putting through it.

A WC T-5 can handle 300ft-lb and I have seen them do more 350-375, but they don't last long doing that.

If you are keeping your 352 stock it should be fine, but if you do a few upgrades then you might want to look at an M5R2. They are a truck trans and may be a better choice for a BB.

The 352 is stock except for a few bolt-ons for mpgs.

I thought it may be a good stop gap deal for fuel economy.

My other thought is a C6, and 2.70 gears. I don't tow much or really ever, and the auto would take care of that when I rarely do.
