Default t45 on a 5.0?

Will a t45 from a 1997 cobra fit on a 1990 5.0?... the t45 has a mechanical speedo just like the t5 on the 5.0. Im assuming as long as the bell housing was changed it should work? maybe..? has anyone done this before?

my fox came with a 3550 in it. i dont think its the same as a t45 though, but im not sure. the 3550 needs a special bell housing and shifter. possibly clutch and throwout bearing. the speedo and electrical all was the same, the flywheel/pp/clutch are the same. but my 3550 was a 26 spline.

hope this helps.

do a search on corral.net

you will need a different bellhousing for it to work.

Would the bell housing from the stock t5 on the 90gt work?... and is that all i would need for the swap?

you will need a bell housing...

But its rather pointless... t45 is heavier... you'd be better off getting the T5 built
