Calling anyone who has done the T5 conversion..... 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be 145volvowayne on  Tue Jan 3 18:36 CST 2006 [RELATED]


I am nearing completion on the Mustang T5 tranny swap (among other improvements). The car should be done at the drive line shop tomorrow or Thursday at which point I will need to fabricate a solution for the tranny mount. I was hoping that someone here on the board who has done this conversion sucessfully could share their solution with me. Either through pictures, drawings, measurements, descriptions or any combonation of these.

I am also wondering how to get the volvo spedo hooked up to the ford cable although this is of less importance.

Thanks,
Wayne

    If you want info on how to do this, email me directly and I will reply with a series of photos on how to do both the trans mount and speedo adaptation.

    I hope to have the photos and info posted on my website soon.

      To everyone else, sorry about the hijack.

      John, answer my emails. It has been 5 weeks since I made payment and I expect you to either make good on the sale or give me my money back.

        Ian,
        I'm out of town and can't see emails sent to my normal e-address.
        Feel free to call my cell # 315 440 6560 if you have questions.
        I can't check your order from where I am today but assume you are waiting for springs from the batch that was due in Dec., was finally made last week, and should be in stock next week. You should have gotten an email explaining the delay.

    use 140 crossmember, move it back, to about the automatic tranny holes,I found the auto holes were not right for my liking, redrilled holes in crossmember and welded strap on crosmember,(see last part of post) bolt to the t5 a angle iron wide to have some meat by the holes, with angle open to the back? bolt the 140 tranny mount and angled brkt to it. drill hole in volvo crosmember, use this hole location up /down- for up/down alingment/clearence, the rear tranny mount should be built to use compresion on the rubber mount, not shear. ie. weight of the engine and tranny compresss the rubber mount. adjust by location of the crossmember foward-back. my .02 worth
