    Post SROD swap T5 in 83 GT Wiring Issue

    I have a 83 GT that came from the factory with a 4 speed SROD. I'm in the process of swapping the engine and tranny and with a 91 GT with a T5 W/C.

    My issue is that since my 83 came with a 4 speed (SROD) My wiring is not the same, my SROD had one round wire connector. So the issue I'm having is that replacement T5 tranny I have has (2) separate connectors both of which are not the same as the what I have.

    Can anyone help me out or point me in the direction as to how solve my issue. Do they make a wire harness that is plug an play? what can I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't believe anyone makes a harness that is a plug and play swap for the T5. I did the same swap on my 79 PC when installing a 5.0/5spd in place of the 23./4spd. I took a good used harness from a T5 car with the plug, then cut and spliced it into the wiring inside along the transmission tunnel. That was so long ago now, I don't remember what wires matched up and even then not 100% sure they would be the same from 79-83. If you don't have the pigtails for the T5 you can purchase them from places like this. https://www.ronfrancis.com/products....t_on=&sort_by= or here https://lmr.com/Product/Search?q=tra...979-93-Mustang

    The correct pigtails and some time with a wiring diagram should give you the details you need to splice them in correctly. Here is another link to the wiring diagrams. http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...79-1986-in-PDF Good luck!
