Thread: Mustang T-5 trans to a flathead

Tweet

Just put a 92 Mustang T-5 trans on my 8-BA flathead. You can check out some of the pictures at Photobucket.com Just enter the name flathead4d and pass word shaboom.

Real nice work! Hot roddin' at its finest.

I ran around with a buddy in the late 50's who would only drive a '49 or '50 Ford. He went through a bunch of 'em. He had a bad temper and when mad, would sucker-punch the driver's side window. I think we depleted the supply of windows from every boneyard in the area

Yeah, I know what you mean. I did the same thing with transmissions. Went through 14 of them and two axels. Never did break a rearend though. Got so my brother and I could change a trans in about 45 minutes and that was laying under the car in the street. Tran's were cheap in 1955. About $35 from the local junk yards and that was with overdrive.
