I have a 1963 F-100 uni-body truck that has a 1985 5.0 Mustang engine in it and would like to switch the transmission that came with it now, which is a 4 speed with overdrive from another truck. I am not sure what year truck the transmission came off of or what type of ford truck it is.
Recently, I just came across a 1995 T-5 transmission from a V8 Mustang that I want to use for the the 5.0 engine I have in my F-100. My question is, will the 1995 transmission work on the 1985 5.0 engine I have? If so, will it just bolt on? I ask because there is a 10 year gap that I am not sure will matter when the time comes to try and use the 1995 T-5 trans and the 1985 5.0 engine.
Also, the T-5 transmission has some wires that come off of it. I am not sure if the wires are for the reverse or is it part of the computer from the 1995 car. Will the wires make a difference since the 5.0 engine I have does not have a computer?
Does anyone have a list of the parts I would have to have to make this setup work?
Thanks in advance for the help!
