    How much will 3:73's and a shift kit affect my times?

    Newbie question here, what exactly does a shift kit do?

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    Good stuff to know, thanks. I'm going to start my search around the local area for a tranny, but I'm most likely not going to be doing any of this for 6+ months.

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    Wow, that was a steal! Did you buy everything used? Is there anything that should be purchased new when doing a T5 swap?

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    Thanks for the tips guys, I'll try to look for a parts car, but I'm not sure I'll find one around here, but you never know. This is a stupid question, but are the tranny's in the 4 cylinders the same? There are quite a few 4 bangers around here that I might be able to rip a tranny off. Are there...

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    Ok thanks. My dad knows a guy that owns a transmission shop so I'll see if I can get a deal. Now I just got to find a transmission...

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    Did that include clutch, bellhousing, clutch pedal assembly and everything else needed? I've looked on ebay and there are some good finds. Does anyone know what an approx. price would be for a shop to remove and AOD and install a T5? I'm not sure if I'll be able to do the work myself so I just...

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    Ok, I'll check into that. I'll be posting some pics of the Stang I picked up today, '91 5.0L Coupe with AOD, bone stock with 140,000 kms. I'm so excited to have another Mustang!:nice:

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    Yes. I just don't want to have 4.10 gears if I'm going to be getting a manual transmission, that's overkill IMO.

    What other vehicles can a T5 be found on? Are they also on F150's?

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    I'm not planning on changing the heads for probably a couple years so what is a good intake to get that is not to expensive? Or is just keeping the stock upper and porting the lower a good idea? Also, what is the difference between an H and X pipe? I will definitely be going no cats, so...

    What is a good exhaust set-up at a decent price? I'm looking for something loud and raspy. I won't be running cats, so should I be looking at the off-road H or X pipe?

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    Ok, I'm thinking gears may be what I do first, 3.73 as that is what I want when I get a new tranny in. Only problem is I don't know when I'll be doing that, it might be a year or more. Maybe I'll just go with shorty headers, I had them on my last Stang and I liked them.

    Cost of a T5 swap...

    I'm planning on eventually swapping out the AOD for a T5, but I'm unsure whether or not I will be attemping this as I'm still pretty green as far as tranny's go(I've only ever installed an automatic transmission onto a 350 chevy). If I have access to a hoist, I may do it myself, but I'm unsure...

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    My budget is pretty tight for the time being, but I plan to do more engine work in the future. Will long tube's fit with the automatic transmission? What's the difference between long and shorty's?

    Best mods for a stock engine...

    What are the best mods for a bone stock '91 5.0 with AOD? I know that changing the gears are a popular choice, but I'm planning on dropping in a T5 at some point, so I don't think I'll bother with the gears until then. What are the most effcient mods in terms of cost and performance for a stock...

    5 speed conversion...

    Is it worth doing a 5 speed conversion from an auto? What are the parts I would need to purchase and how difficult is it? Thanks.

    Intake manifold spacer?

    I'm looking at getting a spacer for the purposes of having enough room between the mainfold and my valve covers, so any added power is purely a bonus. Do the kits include everything that is needed?
