Hello,
I may be getting a Fox with a 2.8L V6 soon, I have fond memories of my 79 Mustang Ghia V6, but I can't say the 3 speed auto was its strong point in terms of fun factor.
I'm considering swapping it with a european 5 speed Type 9 transmission from a Sierra, or maybe a four speed Type E (I already have one from a 2.3 Mustang, they're essentially the same with one less gear).
The main question is, which is the proper bellhousing to get for this transmission that would make the conversion as easy as possible ?
Which is the adequate clutch ? Would a Type E clutch work ?
Also, is the Sierra V6 Type 9 the proper length and is it compatible with the Fox driveshaft. Maybe I can swap the tail section with the Mustang Type E one to easy the compatibility ?
If you have any other information for the potential swap, let me know.
Thanks
