GM 6 speed into a ford.

H8IMPORTS · 11-05-2011, 06:08 AM

My 92 coupe needs a trans and I know where I can get a 93 lt1 6 speed real cheap. I have heard of people putting them into fords. Does anybody know what all I would have to change? I know the bellhousing but what else? And would it be worth it?

driveshaft, bellhousing, crossmember, etc.

Same if you install a cobra 6-speed. They are both t-56's

Where can I get a bellhousing? I guess call tremic?

D&D motorsports.

Pretty sure you will need a clutch fork as well

Are the input shafts the same? I know the GM T-5 and Ford T-5 had different input shafts, and IIRC, output shafts. Different splines.

arn't the F-body transmissions at a 15 degree rotated angle or something to allow the torque arm to be bolted on?

Could be. I didn't think about that

Gm trans are 26 spline input and hydraulic clutch. That's the main two differences off the top of my head. Not worth it to swap over imo
