Hey guys, Ive got an 83 mustang GT I already swapped in a 351W stroked to 427ci. But i want more..I want to drop in a 460 stroked to 514 and I want it to stay a manual trans car...I have a G-force prepped t-5 does anyone sell an adapter plate to bolt it up to the 460 block? and do I need a custom flywheel? I would like to keep the 10.5" clutch..Will the trans bolt up without a plate? ...Im just gettin tired of everyone swapping to a 351...anyhelp will be greatly appreciated

better stock up on repkacement T5s........lol...........no pun intended, just that a stock 460 will frag one in no time.........best off swapping trans for the 6 speed its torque rating is handleing the viper V10

If i remember correctly, the T56 that is in the Viper is beefed up compared to the ones that would come in a Camaro for example, but a GForce T5 can handle that 460, unless you run nitrous or a power adder, or unless the motor itself is making over 600hp. Even still, G Force have T5s that can handle 1000hp+. A Viper-spec T56 would rule though.

The flywheel is to the 460... go to the 11' clutch now... or you'll be just doing it later!! the toploader 4 speed will hold the bazillion tons of lowend, but the T5 will bolt up to the scatter shield!! There are quite a few BBF in the fox bodys!! One here is in the 8.90s at 150+, 514 cid and NOS!! and cuts a 1.30 60 ft!! on a glide! Oh, and he WILL and does street it!! cool?? have fun!!

Just me.............................

Hey man that's gonna be a badass car. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I'm gonna try and get ahold of x2cmotorsports for one of their trans'. They have the fastest tremec equipped car in the world. It's a little expensive but well worth the money. www.x2cmotorsports.com

Actually you need to make sure there is a working bellhousing for those trannys before you think they will work.
