Trans for my 351 Cleveland? - 1/30/2008 3:36:28 PM    Z28West   Posts: 8 Joined: 3/2/2007 Status: offline I have a 71 mustang with a 351 Cleveland and an Automatic trans. I want to put a 5 speed manual trans in it instead. I have a 86 Ford Pickup with a 302 V8 and a 5 speed manual trans. Can I swap that trans into my mustang? Do they sell adapter kits for that kind of thing? It would save me a ton of money if I could. How hard is this swap if possible?

Find your self a used T5. I just rebuilt one and it was a cake walk. _____________________________ If it aint broke..... modify it anyway!!!!
