T-5 to 2.8V6 - Anyone done it?!?
« on: January 11, 2004, 06:47:19 PM »
Has anyone adapted a T-5 to the 2.8 V6 in their Pinto? I'm going to do this, but if anyone has already done it, their thoughts on the swap would be much appreciated!

I have a 2.8 with a t-5 in my 71 right now, but i bought the engine/tranny package so i dont know how to do it myself, but i can get you some pictures of the bell housing and so on. The engine and tranny were out of an 80's ranger. let me know what i can do for ya.

Chris,

Pics might be very helpful. Do you know what clutch cable was used? Thanks.

The trouble i have come to find with my particular transmission/clutch situation is that it is hydraluic and ive had to about make everything for the system, or make somthin work. Going to a hydraluic set up isnt impossibly hard, but probably not nessicary for you. :-\  I will try to get some pics for you however. DO you have the t-5 already or are you looking? let me know what all is goin down and ill do my best to help you out.

Thanks Chris!
I currently have a bellhousing from a Mustang II that I will modify as necessary to get it to work with the stock Pinto clutch cable. I do have a T-5. It is from a Fox body Mustang with a 4 cyl. If I have to end up using a V8 T-5, I will get one of those, but I think the ratios in the 4 cyl version would work better for the V6 on the street.

I have a lot of other things to do on the car first, but when I have the time, I have an extra engine I can use for mockup.
