Whoooo..... Got hooked on the 460 swap and the t56 swap ideas.
Since I substituted an H2 for my wifes daily driver, and I have my SD 4x4 (Gonna need it for this project1 ) I can turn my '93 SC 5 spd into "THE PROJECT" So now I've spent what little time I have to myself as I am away from home for work on the 'net researching.
Bouncing from forum to forum chasing threads about 460 EFI conversions and T56 set-ups.... eyes are starting to glaze and the case of printer paper is getting low.....
Had to learn about the different setups for the t56 and what's available. LOTS!
The t56 has basically a 2 piece "bellhousing" the front adapter plate which is actually the front bulkhead of the trans, and the clutch housing adapter.
For us to use this an LS1 front end is needed. It provides the hyd. slave mount. The clutch housing adapter "bellhousing" for BBF or 3.8 can be gotten from McLeod.
McLeod also makes offset shifters for the T56 up to 4"!

So far the only real problem that I haven't been able to fiddle out is EEC IV MAF (electronic)set-up for the 460.
V8 harness..noprob, fuel same--4bbl carb intake, add injector bungs, injectors, fuel rails, fuel reg.......this is easy. But FORD kept changing the D*&M Firing orders for their engines!!!!! Sooooo, here's the $20K question...Can you reprogram a ?5.0 ECU to work with a 7.5?
I'd like to have an SEFI MAF EEC IV to reliably deliver performance, econemy and drivability.
I've had to dump alot of stuff to paper off my work machine do to verrrrry limited space. Am working on rescanning onto my laptop. Questions welcome along with more data and help. My car and garage are 400+ miles away so I am handicapped by not being able to go look or measure (sux)
PM's welcome.
Thanks in advance,
