I am starting to gather together the things needed for a T5 swap but wanted to come here to make sure I have everything on this list I will need. I've never done this kind of swap before, so this is my first time. I read up on as much as I could about from the resources available, especially from here so I think I am ready to do it when the time comes.
Starting off, my car is a 1989 740 Turbo, hydraulic clutch M46 transmission. The list of what (I believe) I need is as follows:
- 1989 Worldclass T5 transmission
- Adapter plate from Kaplhenke racing https://www.bneshop.com/collections/700-900-volvo-parts/products/240-dual-pattern-ford-t5-tko-adapter-plate
- Modified Bell Housing from Kaplhenke
- Clutch kit from Yoshifab https://yoshifab.com/store/volvo-red-block-stage-3-clutch.html
- T5 Slider Yoke (from v-performance)
- Pilot bearings for use with the T5 (from v-performance)
- Ford release bearings (from v-performance)
- Modifications to hydraulic type clutch forks for use with Ford release bearings (from v-performance)
... and also, what driveshaft is recommended to use for this application? I've read some use the Mustang driveshaft while others use the Camaro.
Is there anything I am missing or don't need from this list?
