Auto Racing: 5.0L 302 87 t-bird auto transmission swap for t-5 g-force, fly wheel, flex plate


Question
Hello.
I got a few questions about swapping my tranny:
1. will i have to get a fly wheel instead of flex plate for a T-5.
2. should I upgrade my differential
3. what do i do with the wiring if any will left over
4. is a fluid cooling lines are the same or not.
thank you very much!

Answer
A T-5 is a manual transmission. You will ned to change the flywheel,remove or plug the fluid lines as a t-5 doesn't have a converter or pump. As for the wiring , you need to search for someone who has done this swap before.
The 8.8 rearend should be ok.
