Trany swap

[11th Hour]

Im looking into getting a 91 5.0, the car is in great shape, no rust great paint, the only problem that I can tell it has is its an automatic. Its not really a problem but automatics are no fun. I was just woundering if anyone has swaped an auto trany for a manual, and how much money they had to stick into this project.

yeah I bought a car with an auto, and I kinda regret it..... I love the car but I cant stand that its an auto and there goes 1100 of my money that coulda been spent for somethin else

Swapping trans, costs money and time. Just be ready to spend some money. I've swapped the t-5 in my car for a d&d viper t-56 and that was a straight across manual trans swap, there are alot of parts to change out.

Yeah, Im not sure if Im getting this, but do you think $5k is too much for a 91 5.0 with 75k miles?

If its in great shape, with documentable 75000 miles, then, yeah, I would say its a reasonable price. By great, I mean good interior, no rust, decent tire tread, good paint, good running, etc.

i dont think thats too bad a price at all. I got my 90 5.0 in immaculate condition for 6K. It had full exhaust, 3.73's, udp, maf, tb and ram air, a brand new beautiful paint job, and new nitto drags. Also only 73000 orginal miles.
