Will the higher torque T-5 from a V8 bolt to a 2.3 bellhousing?
Yes, a 2.3/T-5 bell will bolt to the V8 T-5, BUT the input shaft length is different on the tranny.
Bill
Is there a workaround the shaft length? Can you just replace the input shaft?
Joe
The input shaft diameter is also larger where it slides into the throw out bearing.Any competent machine shop can rework the V8 input shaft,but it isn't a bolt in swap.
