Fox Mustang tranny Swap??

[ProTouring442]

I am looking at a Fox-body Mustang (1987), but it's an automatic. How easy is it to sawp it over to a 5-speed?

Will I need to do anything to the ECM?

Is the crank already prepped for a pilot bearing?

Anyone make some sort of kit for this?

ECM is different, but only slight programming differences. Not to worry there.

Same crank, just put in a pilot bearing, Ford OEM # D4DZ 7600 A.

Some of the specialty Mustang vendors have kits, but basically they just get everything from a donour car. That's probably the easiest way to accomplish this swap, find a 86 - 93 donour vehicle.

Cool... I think I'll go look at the car next weekend then.

Thanks!
