I’m thinking about upgrading to a T56 but I’d need to sell my tranny first. How much do you think I could get for an original ’93 tranny? Just under 100k and seemed to shift and drive nice before i parked the car.
Thanks guys,

Gauging interest on an original ’93 tranny

I sold a T-5 from a 93 with 50k miles for around $350, used is used and it's hard to get much for one because so many are junk.
yeah, i was just hoping to get a little more out of it thats all. i've actually been sitting on a T56 that came out of my 2000 SS Camaro i might part with too. Parting out my SS has pretty much funded my whole cobra project...to bad i'm down to my last few buckets of parts.
....you wouldnt say that if you knew what i had planned for this car... :devil:
Tell me your not going to jump on the LS1 motor in a foxbody bandwagon....:nonono:
I sold mine for $500.
lol!
Well honestly I’m a Chevy guy by heart, I’ve just always loved the ’93 Cobra’s. I actually didn’t know there was a bandwagon until after I thought of the idea myself….but after owning a couple LS1 cars it doesn’t surprise me to see you Ford guys swapping out, it makes sense :burn: (just having some fun with you).

Just your choice of LS base block, tranny/bell housing, and set of headers and k-member designed for the swap. AJE makes the k-member and Kooks and one other company (cant remember) makes the headers. Along with that you’d need a master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch if you’re planning on using a T56, which I already have. Theirs a few other miscellaneous parts that go along with that list too like wiring harness, brackets and CPU, ect….again all stuff I already own. From what I’ve read the swap if pretty simple too.
But I see no reason to waste the fresh motor I currently have in my Cobra so I don’t plan on doing the sway anytime soon. Besides after my current projects are completed my car could use a frest paint job before i even think about a new motor....I think this is the first time this car has ever seen a garage

$$$, time, a welder and grinder.
I have a friend here that was starting to install a 6.0 motor in a fox mustang. He got frustrated with the install and sold the project. It was alot of work, it was more than what he was looking for. I am unsure what he had invested in it and I dont know if the car was finished with the new owner.
There’s more then one way to skin a cat and I have no idea what type of combo’s your friend was trying to work with or his skill level but it can be done. He must have been pretty frustrated though to up and sell his whole project, that sux.
Here’s a nice read with some good pictures.

I have heard of it being done. There is a guy in Tulsa that is doing one, he is taking his time though and I havent talked to him in maybe a year now.
As far as the 6.0, I am unsure of what he was looking for, I tryed to talk him our of it. He is pretty good as far as buing something, getting into it, and changing his mind and sellign everything only to get into something else that he isnt going to finish.
I bet a Fox would run real good with the LS. I mean, the Ls cars run really well stock. swap everything into a smaller and lighter car, you cant lose. Besides the "bowtie"
I am not bias, I own a GM and Ford, but that is as far as I will ever go. :rockon:
I won't dis the potential they have, just not into the cross-breeding crap. If I ever did a non windsor based swap it would be a Terminator swap or a turboed 5.4 maybe.
