[lonerdog]

i have a 97 sport 4-0 stick and im looking to put a 5-0 in it . looking for help as to what i will need for the swap. i want to leave it a stick. do i need a mustang bellhousing for the 5-0. do i need to change the stanchions or will the 5-0 motor mounts fit where the 4-0 was? i have a 5-0 that is carbed and i put it it a ranger with an auto but i want to put it in the x with a stick. can i use a mustang bellhousing with the x 5 speed? will it bolt up and use the same driveshaft?

your 4L trans will not bolt up to a 5L
