Does the T5 come with several different bearing retainer diameters? If so, where can one find them listed?

Hey Lou, FYI I received the bellhousing today. Looks great! For those considering getting in on the group buy last minute, I can tell you that the workmanship looks first-rate! I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this, Lou. The check for the balance is in the mail!

Now if I could just figure out what I've bought... :) Kidding! Take your time on that article, Lou. I'd imagine I'm at least a year or so away from being able to afford the conversion, and the 8 1/4" rear-end swap I'll end up performing at the same time.

(Any sources for a flywheel cover?)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
VM

4.91" bearing retainer for all T5s, as far as I have every seen.

Lou, Rob and I went hunting the yards this weekend and he said he'd be fine with shipping our bells together. Thanks again for doing all this!

My searching of this and the .com forum have failed me in determining what needs to be done to get an accurate reading for a speedometer mated to the T-5? Lou, Sandy what did you guys use for an adapter for the speedo cable to the tranny?

Also, the v-6 t-5 failed so I am getting a v-8 GT tranny so that is the adapter I will need for the crank.

Does the T-5 clear the T-bar crossmember? Or do you have to hack it up?

Lars - Hacking required, yes.

Bohmer2 - I had a custom speedo cable made (Keisler or speedo shop) with a T5 end and a 64 Dart speedo end. Any combo can be made. Will do on the ring.

Menko - Rob should already have his - sorry but I needed it gone due to moving from NC to VA. Wouldn't have saved more than $10 or so anyway.

Don - thanks for the pics!

Lou
