The V8 Owners Forum -

nice work matey on the Sierra
thing I'm unsure of with the Tremec is that one company I found on ebay stated that the box will fit a 302 with a small mod. Whereas others seem to say that the box only fits the modular 4.6.
will have to do more research methinks
any info still much appreciated

I think the T5 is the cheepest option as you already have one

thanks for that, but I don't have a T5 ! or any other suitable gearbox. I'm thinking maybe it'll have to be a Tremec. Anyone done this before ?

doing a rebuild on a 302, but seeing the price of used T5s and Tremecs I'm thinking there must be an alternative (read cheaper idea ) so anyone any knowledge on a conversion ? LT77 or Getrag perhaps ? and what about bellhousings ? just a plate needed or complete change ?
any advice appreciated

ah, the joys of Marcos ownership, as a mechanic once said
'I think they all do that mate !'
