    T-5/5.0 in 65 What headders do YOU run?

    Guys About to drop some coin on a set of headders. The car is a 65 Coupe with Manual steering. Replacing the 200 I-6 3-SPD with a 5.0 T-5. All the T-5 conversion parts are comming from Modern Driveline <cable clutch conversion>. They suggested shorty headders to help with the...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Man, is it just me or is that price pretty darn steep for what I suspect contains a leaky chrome oil pan for starters? No offence intended, just never ever had any luck with chrome oil pans. Tommy D

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Agreed, I have seen that wood dowl blow on on a I/O boat engine. What a huge mess! Hey, E-Bay/Used parts aside if I purchase new <and I assume you can get re-pop new> frame mounts for the V-8 are they all like 1966? Meaning the engine will sit about 1" higher? Im thinking it will give me...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    The car the 5.0 is going into <65 Coupe 200 cid I-6 / 3-Spd> Looking for frame perches and mounts for a 66 as we speak. Im to understand the 65 V-8 mounts sit lower. The donor motor trans I plan to keep together. The trans was rebuilt just recently and it has a new HD clutch. Thanks...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Rusty, thanks for the advice. Most likely I will do the bare-min at first. Meaning once the car gets rollingnad it actually starts, stops and goes forward and backwards Im trying to watch my budget. Having done 2 1/2 of these swaps did you also do the T-5 conversion? After speaking to...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    D.Hearne Thanks much for your post. I know the engine was either rebuilt/replaced in this car. When I pull it out Ill hopefully find "E7" heads and a post 1986 motor. The car is still speed density, with the "factory crushed" headders. With a set of 373's behind a recently remanned...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Thanks for the info guys. I had a feeling the late model cover could be drilled. 2 more questions as it sounds like you guys have gone through this before. The 86 GT has a brand new rad in it. I would like to use it in the 65. That said the 65 bolts in typical of the early mustangs...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Hey Guys From reading a lot of the avatars in here this swap is not all that uncommon. Just got a donor car <86 GT 5.0 & T-5 5-spd> and am about to "have at it". First and most obvious problem I see is the oil pan. Ok, no big deal, replace the "H" pan with a front sump. Change the...
