My first mustang

[5.0-sleeper]

I just bought a 1985 ford mustang it's a 2.3 4-speed

he gave me a '93 EFI 5.0 I've already swap it to carb

and a built C6 street/strip trans i might use i might sell it

but i need to know what all i need to put it in

and what is the 4-speed part number what ever

You want to know what to put in what? Not trying to give you are hard time, but I can't understand the question.

There are many threads on SN for the 4 to 8 swap. Use the search function and read all you like.

well you are going to need a double hump tranny mount for 1 thing. You are going to need a set of headers and a h-pipe and the cat back exhaust from a 5.0L. you need the engine mounts from a 5.0L. You are going to have a hard time installing the c-6. Better to find a auto (AOD4) out of a wrecked 5.0L and the driveshaft. Also find yourself a 8.8 rear end as your car only has a 7.5.

And the 4speed you have is probably an SROD.

Please sort out the question. Your 85 Mustang 2.3 is easy to swap to either an efi or carbed 5.0. You need the 5.0 engine and trans. While the 4 speed might be able to be bolted up to a 5.0, with the correct belhousing, and may fit a T5 bell, it will take more work that it may be worth.

Your best trans are a T5, a C4 or and AOD. The C6 can be done, but it is supposedly a very tight fit in the trans tunnel, and it weighs about 100 lbs more than a C4. It is a mother to horse up in place. Been there, done that.

You can send all the leftover 4 cyl parts to me, I have an 85 2.3 auto that could use a running 2.3.

Not to mention the C6 is a horsepower robbing beast.
