Your choices are: 1) Run a bronze bushing, which a couple places make although I can't remember what companies2) Have the nose of the V8 T5 input shaft turned down to fit the 4 cyl. pilot bearing3) Have the end of the crank machined out to fit a V8 pilot bearing.

Anyone know where to get......? Reply #5 – May 03, 2007, 09:35:40 AM couldn't you use the input shaft out of the 4banger 5speed and put it into the V8 5speed? I think that most over at turbo ford use the bronze bushing. Quote Selected

Anyone know where to get......? Reply #7 – May 03, 2007, 10:53:20 AM I got on the internet and some racing guy stuck a V8 T-5 behind his 4 cyl. His website said all he used was a pilot bearing. I can't remember the site for the life of me, but I ordered the bearing (Napa) right away. I don't want it anymore though so if you want it, it's yours. I'm not saying it will work, but this guy said it did. Quote Selected

I found the pilot bearing i was looking for, motion-dynamics.net sells it for 7.95 plus shipping. Ipsd, using a 2.3 input would totaly defete the purpose of using a v8 trans due to the fact that the input is a touch weaker that the v8 counterpart. Thanks for the help guys and sorry my sig is so large, dont know how to make it any smaller of i would!Bill Quote Selected

Anyone know where to get......? Reply #13 – May 03, 2007, 09:13:31 PM do you have a pic of the new bearing? because if you pulled the stock 4cyl bearing from the crank the v-8 trans would probly fit in the opening. the 4cyl bearing is very small Quote Selected
