Hi all,
I've done a search for this, but because the search engine won't let me enter a word with less than three letter (which the term "T5" is), I haven't been able to get any decent results. Forgive me if this is an old subject.
Anybody done a T5 conversion behind a stock motor? I've got a '91 Explorer with 200K miles on it. Everything works fine but odds are that the end is near. Since we've decided to keep the truck as skiing and off road vehicle, I'm planning on rebuilding the motor, but I know that the automatics fitted to Explorers are weak. I've got a T5Z sitting in my garage and I'm wondering if it could be installed in the Ex behind the stock 4.0.
Anybody done this? Major or minor PITA? Is it worth the trouble? Can you point me to resources or helpfull web sites?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. My daily driver is a Volvo wagon with a 347ci Ford V8 and Tremec so I'm pretty comfortable with this type of work.
