t5 gearbox ?

[holeshot]

do t5 gearboxs from a 6 or v8
differ from one another.
besides the obvious like bellhousing.

was looking at a gearbox from a 6cyl el fairmont
to use behind a v8,but am not sure if i should just get
one from a v8.it is for a conversion to a x series falc.

The T5's from au v8 onwards are stonger then earlier versions. They'rer the strongest passenger vehicle T5 to be made globally and use a hardened mustang gear clusters for both main/layshaft.

the v8 uses a different input shaft to the 6cyl. it wont work sorry to say.

from what iv'e been led to beleive in pretty much every model ford, holden or valiant from early ones to late ones the six cylinder boxes have a shorter front shaft, if you don't already have a box buy the right one, but if you do alrady have a box ring castlemaine rod shop they will meke a bellhousing to mount a six box to a V8 for about 3-400 dollars

[eav8]

dellow also make bellhousing to suit 6cyl T5 behind clevo's. They also do units for clutch conversion to hydraulic utilising 6cyl reduction starter on passenger side..also around the $400 mark

Hey guys, I bought a t5 tremtec gearbox that came out an 6cyl AU falcon, I was told it would fit my EL xr8 but apparently it won't because the input shaft is to small. What should I do? I already have the v8 bellhousing. So I don't want to go castlemaine. Can I just change the input shaft and the gears? Can I put new v8 gears and shaft into 6cyl box? Any help would be much appreciated.
