So my junkyards around here have plenty of the 5.0 truck motors but they cut everything off when they pull the engine, still worth 19 or 2100?
Yes . I wouldn’t waist time trying to install a mt82 6 speed . They are a headache to fit into a Fox for a weak transmission . T56 is the way to go manual . If not you can use a tko 600 , 500 , t45 , tr3650 .
The original car I did we used the aje k member and it was great . We also used a stifflers transmission crossmember . Scram speed gas pedal bracket . Bbk long tubes and X pipe for the swap . This was a gen 1 engine and control pack . Used stock fuel rails and then AN adapters and ran our own fuel lines and fuel System in preparation for a supercharger which it did get .
The car I’m doing now has a Team z k member. 6r80 auto with a stifflers crossmember . Hooker stainless long tubes . MM steering shaft . GEN 2 engine and control pack with transmission control . Using a fox shifter , sn95 shifter cable and Power by the hour bracket and shift stop . Same thing for fuel system - adapter fittings and all an lines and a pump with a cell . ( used to be a race car . ) This one came to me motor and trans in already but a mess . So I am getting the wiring re done and fixing all the odds and ends to make it a street car .
For your manual brake and steering I recommend using a maximum MOTORSPORTS steering shaft . Also use their manual brake Kit .
Calypso car was the one we did in 2013 . No expense spared .Black is the one I’m currently slowly fixing now .
