hey guyz,
I am gona swap a worked 302 into my 87 turbocoupe.
I have all the wiring details from jasonfletcher.
my question lie in the tranny. will i be able to use my existing t-5 for a 1980 5.0 block? :dunno:
has anyone done this swap?
any help would be much obliged.
i believe it's too weak. plus the first gear ratio is way too steep for a 5.0. info here>>> http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/t5_data.html (http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/t5_data.html)
good luck with your swap. ^_^
dark is right it is to weak and the gears are to steep to be of proper use.
Get a stang one.
I wrote a huge article in the engine swapping section of the forum here,very detailed,you should check it out.
I just did the 2.3l-5.0l swap like 4 months ago so when i wrote the article last month everything was very fresh in my mind.
Do you have a 5.0l bird or couger parts car?
It will be very difficult(but not impossible)to do the swap without one.
