ford f-150 5.0L and tranny??

[Golli]

hi, i got myself a donor f-150 with 5.0L and a 5-spd. I have hear rumors that the tranny won't fit. is this true? why would it not fit? and if it doesn't fit, would a t-5 bolt on to it?

I can't answer your Q, but the person who can is probably going to need to know what year F150.

The tranny is too big to fit in the tunnel on the X. If you have a 3" body lift, it might fit. The stock X t-case won't fit on the F-150 trany, and I think the F-150 case would be too wide to fit within the frame on an X. Another problem you are going to have is with the stock F-150 EFI intake. It is also too tall to fit under the hood of a stock X. Again a 3" body lift may allow you to fit it under the hood.

I posted to your other thread. Also check this link out: Guy Groves used an M5R2 (Mazda F150 Trans) and an AA to mate it to the BW1354.
