It looks right. Make sure it's for a V8 if you plan to put it behind a V8. Also, not as important, but see if you can get the year. Newer ones tend to be stronger. Strongest being a '93 unit.

Have him send you the Numbers off of it and use some of the links bellow to find out what it came out of and how much it can take (torque)

Brian, even the early V8 T-5 would be fine behind your 223. If you run across one from a 94-95 Mustang it is supposed to work with the adaptor instead of the needing the bellhousing redone. Mummert says that it's not the best option but for a driver 6 cylinder truck I would think it should be fine and it costs alot less to do.

I may have a adapter that will work or can be made to work.

I was real Lucky here a while back and scored one for $150.00 and was able to drive it before it was pulled. Its a older unit before the World Class, it came out of a 85 Mustang with a very tired 302. Its got a super high 5th gear I think .63 or .68 overdrive.

Michael, your 1985 T5 should be a World Class. Maybe it's a 1984 which is a NWC. Here's a chart of all the T5 numbers

Wow! Brien, that's quite a list. I didn't realize the T-5's were in so many vehicles. Although, you didn't include which one's that have the shift mount near where it would be in a slick. (Just kidding, of course).

Brian,
when I did mine, I first used the 236 and then the OD part was no good. Ran across a 238 which is now installed, but my speedo is not as close with the 8 tooth as with the 7 toothspeedo drive gear. You need to check with John Mummert on this, as I don't remember all the details, but in order to use the 236 or the 238 with the long input shaft, you need to use his adapter along with a stock 3spd bellhousing. It does seem a little pricey, but when you consider that he furnishes a new Disk, Pressure Plate(diaphram type), Pilot bearing to match flywheel pocket and input snout, and a new Throwout Bearing mounted on a custom machined collar made to fit the bearing retainer tube on the T5 and useing the stock clutch fork, it is all worth it. Makes it a bolt-in without any modifications except haveing to "adjust" the flat floor hump of the 3spd cab by rounding it up about an inch or so to allow clearance for the taller top cover. I don't remember what the setup was for the 4spd bellhousing, but I think the bellhousing itself is modified and you need to use a T5 with a shorter input shaft. All this is why I suggest you deal with John, as he will give you all the details as to what needs to be done to accomplish this changeout. He is a little slow answering emails, but that's how I dealt with him throughout my getting information and purchasing his setup. His website at www.ford-y-block.com has a place to click to send him a email. The machine work on his TO Collar and the Adapter Plate is utterly beautiful. Just a bit more information for your consideration.

Bluebolt,
the trans. is accually a 84 model. I already ran the tag and it is before the Worldclass. I also have a friend that owns a trans. shop here and confirmed it also. I don't mind if it isn't I just want something to bring the rpm's down and get some kind of milage.

Mine came from a 40,000 mile early 90s (don't remember the year now). 5.0 LX Mustang the guy swapped a C4 into the car for a dragster. I gave $400 for it and didn't complain.

finally talked to the guy.
he said it was from an 84 5.0 car.
he is going to get the #s and call me back but he was pretty sure as he said he ran the #s on the fox mustang site.

from the list here it would seem to have an 0.68 od what does that do with a 3.50 rear ?

Simple, 3.50 x .68 = 2.38 effective gear ratio.

Mine has dropped to an effective rear ratio of 2.701 with the 238 and a 3.70 rear. the 223 does very well most of the time, but now and then, depending on the grade being pulled, I do have to drop to 4th. Sure does make the engine sound happier than before.
