I wont even have all the parts for the swap till Jan probabally. 76king on TF is working a deal with me on some parts.

351wcoupe · Jul 16, 2004

let me know if you need any little odds and ends before the trip.

I am going to use the Holy Grahl of Swap info checklist to get this thing right the first time, SO I may be calling for some parts to get shipped to me.

Stinger's page??

Is there another?

351wcoupe · Jul 17, 2004

Is there any upullit type junkyards near you. The one near me charges $100 bucks for a T5 ( the V8 ones never make it out to the yard). You should be able to walk away with all the parts to do the swap for probably $150 and a half days work. My yard also offers a warranty for about $20 extra. If the tranny is crap you bring it back and pull another one. But then again if you have one rebuilt you know it will last a while.

$100? I could drive to florida pull 15 T-5s, sell them here and live like a king.

kiddiccarus · Jul 18, 2004

I've found it once before, I'll look again. complete T5 rebuild kit was like $110 maybe....can't remember at all.

Unfortunately, those kits will only fix a trans that isn't broke...no hard parts are included, kinda like a rering kit for an engine. Just one synchro pack (say, the 3-4 pack for example) is 60 bux. The 1-2 synchro pack is 350!!!!

yeah thats what I meant. Thats like the people that came in today and asked if some trans additive would bring the reverse back to their car....hmmm...

kiddiccarus · Jul 19, 2004

you are the ones that said the trans is diecent to use >HMMMMMM.
I have no reason to believe that the trans is bad. I understand about what you are saying. I am looking to buy this and to save for a newer WC for later on.

351wcoupe · Jul 19, 2004

T56!!!

kiddiccarus · Jul 19, 2004

HMMMM Well If I am saving for a good one it is eiter going to be a new WC t-5 or a T-56

351wcoupe · Jul 20, 2004

kiddiccarus · Jul 20, 2004

LOL Naw I am going to push it. With a f-150.

I will buy a new WC T5 later on.

kiddiccarus · Jul 20, 2004

Till then the T5 I am looking at will have to do.

Sounds crazy but...when I brought the last merkur (stinger's) home I pulled it with the lightning and used my tow dolly. It didn't slow the truck that much. I honestly believe I could out run an N/A pretty easy.
