Wow. You've not posted in almost a year!

Anyhoo, I don't have any pictures taken anymore. I had uploaded them here to stay forever (or until the server change and inevitable loss.)

And that part that may be different between the C5 and AOD wouldn't actualy matter for you. You just need a flywheel for a 3.8.

So is there any reason why one couldn't simply pull a t-5 from any 5.0 fox or 94-95 mustang and throw it in there as long as you get a flywheel + clutch meant for a 94/95 3.8 mustang?

Forgive me, transmissions are still one of my weak spots

A Fox 5.0 T5 will work, provided you use an SN-95 flywheel...you can't use an SN-95 T5 though, the input shaft is too long.

Be best to find a 3.8 T5 '94 or '95 Stang, as that will get you the trans, the proper flywheel (at least for an '88 3.

and the bolts.

Yeah, I would love to but their not very plentiful around here. At least not manual.

But I can come across a fox t-5 rather easily, and AutoZone has the proper clutch and flywheel (for 94-95) available. I just don't want to pay $700 for their matching transmission:(

No way shape or form to install a fox 5.0 T5, You need the longer T5 as the only bellhousing/flywheel combo available requires it. From what I remember.

3.8 guys no longer have to suffer with a slush box. apperantly there is only either weighted or not on 3.8's and you use either a mustang (weighted until 2000ish) or neutral (super coupe/2000ish+) flywheel and your set.

I was hoping to find either a 28oz or 50oz answer, that would mean you could use any t-5 -, including the regular gt ones. however, you will be able to physically bolt up any 3.8 using stock and easily obtainable parts.

that is all.

... I still plan to do this. Soon. It's just hard to find JY parts around here, not that many Fords down here and what is here is auto. I have to e-bay or Craigslist source everything anymore. I do have a lead on a trans though, just needs a little work on the synchro's apparently, and got a set of pedals in the works too. Suppose I can get a clutch kit and flywheel from Auto Zone...

That's what i did in the tbird. i used a f-150 flywheel and clutch and a $150 craigslist trans. guy said it had either 140 or 190k on it it shifted like nee and i was all in at only $450.

if i had an 83-88 3.8 this would be on the top of my list. really woke up my tbird and changed how it drove.

The '83'-87 3.8s were confirmed to have a 28oz imbalance in 2006. What am I missing?
