4.0l + t-5....

[Spdrcer34]

I just found out that the `05+ Mustang with the 4.0L SOHC has a T-5 mated to it....instead of the M5OD that we are used to dealing with.

Has anyone done this swap yet? If the T-5 is possible, the T-56 isn't too far away then...

big PITA conversion

I have heard of one 4.0L OHV with a WCT5 behind it over the years.
It was in a Ranger, it requires ALOT of work and some special parts I believe (from a 2.3L truck? cant remember)
If I remember right the problem is:
getting t case behind WC t5
Gearing is all wrong for a 4x4

He's 2wd the the 4x4 part won't be a problem for him

yup those are just the things I remember
the Tc uses a clutch fork I think so the entire maual clutch setup will need to be fabricated, maybe look to an 84-85 Ranger/BII for that

 

[Spdrcer34]

I will be looking for the WHOLE T-5 set-up from the Mustang.

Those familiar with me and my X will know that custom fabrication is NO PROBLEM at all. But from my understanding, there's not much fab. required.

Thanks,

^^^^^moooooore power!!!!

 

[Spdrcer34]

If I can get a T56 in there, there won't be a need to go V8

.......just to confirm with you guys......

Both versions of the 4.0L have the same bellhousing pattern......right?

how is the 4.0L OHV t-5 setup then? someone touched on it but didnt elaborate as to the level of PITA lol

 

[Spdrcer34]

Can I get a confirmation that the 4.0L OHV and the 4.0L SOHC utilizes the EXACT SAME bellhousing...

I have already confirmed that my 1992 Explorer w/ M5OD uses the EXACT SAME starter as the current T-5 equipped V6 Mustangs

[Spdrcer34]

Seriously guys....does ANYBODY KNOW if the 4.0L SOHC shares the same bellhousing pattern as the 4.0L OHV?

check out this thread on RPS. It seems that the sohc and ohc bolt patterns are not exactly the same.
