blackxt 699 Posted June 1, 2014 I'm just wondering has any one done this , I'm looking at fitting a v8 single rail in my ute , just because I have one , would it just be a matter of getting a t5 bellhousing and redrilling it , mabey making a sleeve to take up the clearance on the snout of the box. <br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk<br /><br /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted June 1, 2014 I think there's about 0.020" difference between ODs of bearing retainers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure on v8 box as they use the 6cyl single rail n redrill bell Absolute straight swap, did it last year swapping a V8 one for a 6. All Falcon single rails are externally identical just ratios are different. 6 cyl has 3.43:1 1st, 302 & EFI have 3.06:1, 351s came with somewhere around 2.6 to handle the torque.

blackxt 699 Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks gav , seems I'll end up with a t5 any way now , I asked a mate for bell housing to modify and I ended up with a whole Manuel ea . <br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk<br /><br /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
