    put a t-5 or t-56 in a 67 mustang?

    Since I may be getting the chance to run my step-dad's car next year, I am thinking about making my car a little more dependable on the street. I was looking at either a t-5 or t-56. Just was wondering if anyone has made the conversion, or could give any tips since it would be a new project for me.

    Thanks

I understand you have a religion called LS motors and you have faith that the LS motors break the laws of physics and work better and cost less than anything else ever built. Plus they never wear out.

    I disagree.

      T5! unless you want to "clearance" (read hit with a hammer or cut) your trans tunnel. I have done this conversion and if you pick up all the parts, it's a bolt in deal.

        i've put a t56 in my car, but it was a bolt in deal. if i had to do it again, i'd do it in a heartbeat. if a T5 is a bolt in though, i'd go with that... they're a dime a dozen and not quite as bad as everyone makes em out to be...

          about how much power can you put through a t-5? I'vee heard both good and bad things about them. I am going to go with a little different combination than i got now. But will still be putting over 420 HP at the motor.

            Get a built one, either a G-force or a regular T5 that has been built for power.

            I'm planning on putting 500+ through mine... eventually.

              just remember there are a couple different t-5's out there. talk to the other guys and make sure you get the right one. theres a t-5 and a tremec 5 that also get called a t-5 I know this because a friend bought what he thought was the bullet proof and ended up with a poodle. Have fun slammin the gears.

                T56s are expensive.

                  Put a top-loader 4 spd in you'll never break it! far more reliable than a t-5 or 56.

                    420 hp at the crank with a good clutch and any sort of traction = the end for a t-5. call or contact tony at http://astroperformance.com/ and see what he recommends. they have a few different levels of t-5s for you.

                    I have a g-force and broke 3rd gear the same problem I was having with the stock t-5s and I put down 360whp and 375wtq.

                    maybe this 1!!!
