Hello classic junkies,
This is a section of the site I don't check into all to often...

Any way my dad has a 67 coupe 289 auto car he bought and trailered home from Alabama the engine/Tranny are the weak part of the car... The car did start and run a year or two ago when he brought it home but it had shifting problems and tranny fluid would practically pour onto the ground as added to the car...

To my point of this thread...

Hows swapping a 302 with a t5 into one of these cars?? I know iv seen it but is it a common/basic swap or something that may take more custom work? If I had a 89/93 5.0 5 speed would everything just bolt from the one car to the other?

Thanks in advance!

Its a fairly easy swap. There will be the typical pain in the ass things. Just ask 67Cruzer. He did the swap. His turned out beautiful. I've had many chats with him. I believe he had a build thread. I'll find it.

Good luck with the swap. I am going to do this swap on my 69 Coupe once I am done with the sheet metal repairs. I already have the 5.0 & the T-5 trans, trans mount & crossmember..

I scanned through that thread but it seems to be mostly body work going on in there I'm much more intrested in the mechanical side of the build...
Would the swap need any special parts or if I had the swap car would I just simpilly be able to swap everything from the fox to the coupe?

Thanks again fellas!

He did the swap though. You can try to pm him. He hasn't been on in awhile. But should get an email if you send a pm. I'll see if I still have his number bud.

Go to www.moderndriveline.com & go to the section for classic swaps & it will explain the parts you will need. Off the top of my head you will need T-5 trans, flywheel, clutch, either clutch cable or hydrolic clutch setup, T-5 crossmember, shifter, & you may have to have the driveshaft shortened. I would install a new trans mount while you are doing the swap.
