[triforcequest]

I have a few extra quest transmissions and a t-5 out of a 5.0 mustang between 83 and 85 the only I know that the top two bolt for the 302 are the same as the quest trans but i haven't done much more research then that.

What I would like to know is if you could cut off the bell housing off a quest and welded it to a plate that would fit a T-5 and had the fly will my be machined to fit the input shaft of the t-5 would this work or am I wrong. the reason I ask this is because i have a auto i would be willing to cutup for research if you guys would think this would work.

The reason I want to do this is for fuel mileage because the 5th gear in the 302 t-5 is perfect for cruising with 3.91 rear gears and you could change the first through forth with one from a four cylinder out of a svo mustang or Thunderbird turbo coupe because they are real close to our gear ratio. Then my be I could get 30 miles to a gallon or close to it.

I will do some more research but just trying to get a feel out for what you think of my idea.
