My 1965 Mustang Coupe (Project Thunder)

[MSTSFabbed]

Get rid of that 3 speed if you can. Mine was straight junk. I'm running a 93 T5 (for the record the 83 to 92s IIRC bolt right up to a 289 NOT the 93 :( ) I have a 3.00 rear gear and it now pulls 70 at 2000 RPM in 5th. Massive massive difference plus a much deeper 1st. I'm planning to upgrade to 3.80s because its now too low haha.



Check your id tag on your axle and I'm sure you can google it and find whats in it, if you don't have a manual or something. Car looks good!!

why wont 93 t-5's bolt up to a 289? as long as its a 6 bolt 289 then any t-5 should work as long as your using the correct bell housing or the stock bell housing with an adapter. the 94-95 t-5's had longer input shafts and you need to use caution when using those. ive seen guys use the standard t-5 adapter on there old 4spd bell housing and then they cant figure out why the gear box wont bolt all the way on.
