Good evening all,

I have a question regarding a 5.0 swap that I am wanting to perform on my 84 BII...

Currently, the transmission in the BII is a C5 and I'm pretty sure it will bolt up to the 5.0 I have, but most swaps usually use the C4 transmission instead...

My question is, do you think the C5 would be able to handle the power of the 5.0? It's currently hooked to a 2.8 V6...

If it can handle the power, what would be the pros/cons of using this transmission over a C4?

Thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but i havent heard much about the 5.0 what are the main differences between it and the 302?

 

[badinten]

a 5.0 and a 302 are the same thing. however most all of the 5.0 i have seen are EFI

Yeah, I got a 302 out of a late 80's model Mustang that needs to be torn down and rebuilt... got it for cheap as hell from a buddy of mine about 3 years ago...

I guess your'e already into the swap, atleast getting started, are you using conversion parts readily purchased? Best of luck, lots of fun when completed.

As for the transmission question, found this on Wiki if you didn't see it already:

I guess from the info, the C5 replaced the C4 back in 82.

Sweet!

 

[dyllanvenezio]

It looks great.

Very nice!!! Whenever I do a swap when my 3.0 dies(which will be quite a while!) I want to do a good powdercoat job on the engine too.

 

[dyllanvenezio]

When my 2.9 dies ill go with a 4.0.

 

[Olfordtruck]

After seeing the Lightning Bolt im thinking a 5.4!!! If not then I want to go with either a newer 302 or a Tom Morana 4.4L complete engine V6... the whole thing is cast aluminum, forged internals, and ready for 20lbs of boost straight out of the box... crazy power coming from a Ford Morana 4.4 V6 stroker! Its based on the 3.8 Ford V6...

 

[rngrdanny22]

I'm not looking for anything too crazy... LOL

I'm keeping it carburated... simple yet effective! ;D

 

[Olfordtruck]

That would be cool on a modern body style ranger like yours! Im looking to the future of this truck road racing low to the ground so it needs something crazy!!! lol
