ok i was just thinking camaro, fire bird, trans ams they have T-56's right well. if i bought a bell houseing for a 5.0 would it work? if yes i think this might be a good cheaper way to get 6 gears. let me know i want to make sure im not on crack.

I've never done it myself but I've heard that the T-56 swap isn't very difficult on Mustangs, of course like I said I've never done it myself so don't hold it against me.

See http://www.mcleodind.com/cgi-bin/fc...c1=/catalog_htm/2003cat.htm&w3hostname=MCLEOD they supposedly have an adapter to mate a GM T56 to a Ford.

You'll also need a shortened drive shaft since the 6-speed is a longer transmission.

What year model T56 6 speed tranny would you be going with? Are they all the same? Does the speedo cable from the T5 work with the T56? It'd be a sweet as hell tranny to me, and i could probably come by one cheap! Let me know if you figure out everything thats needed!
