Tremec 3650
- Thread starter 86GT
- Start date
Why do you want to get a 3650 for your car.
From wourking with Modular motors and 5.0 motors. The bell housing mount different ways.
THE 3650 bell housing mounts from the inside with 10 or 12 bolts. A standered T-5, Tremec 3550 The bell mounts to the trans from the outside with 4 bolts.
I don't think a 5,0 bell will mount to 4.6 motor and same for 4.6 to a 5.0. So you would probally have to get a bellhousing custom made.
You are probally better off finding a nice Tremec 3550 and throwing it in. I had one and loved it. I wish I never sold the thing. If you need stronger I would go with a Tremec 500 or 600 then.
I just looked at one company that makes a 4.6 bellhousing that Fits, 3550, TKO, TKO 500, TKO600. But they don't offer a 5.0 bell that will fit a 3650.
I would call them and see what they say. They can help you more.

I just found more info also
"No one that I know of makes a bellhousing to mate the 3650 and a 5.0 together. If that wasn't an issue, it still wouldn't fit because of the shifter location, crossmember mount location, and length. You'd be better off to get a tranny made for a Fox (if this is for a fox)"

I can gave you a few places that make t-5 that handel a lot of power. It looks like the 3650 won't fit a fox anyway because of there is no bellhousing. So I would go with a tremec 3550 or A tko 500, A tko 600.
G-force makes a good t-5
G-Force Street 5-Speed Transmission
G-Force Street 5-Speed upgrade kits are now available. These kits allow for substantially increased horsepower handling capabilities while utilizing the factory T-5 location and mounting dimensions
G-Force Street 5-Speed kit will handle roughly 600 hp or 500 ft-lb. or torque in a 3300 lb.

I would call these guys and talk to them about your car. They are well known and have been around for a long time.
