The world works in insanely mysterious ways...
I decided to go to the local picknpull to check out a couple of volvos they got recently (94 850 and 98 S70) and while wandering my way to the back where they were, I detoured through the Domestics. I NEVER do that, and of course, today of all days, the day I say T5s don't show up in the local yards....I find a 95 Mustang V6 with a T5. The tag said 1352-238, and when I googled that...sigh...WC with the longer input shaft. The 94-95 V6 boxes were rated for 260 ft/lbs, which is still pretty darn good IMO, but I'll have to shim any adapter I get, or make, so no biggie. Or...I have to trim the input shaft, which is even easier .
While I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself, I went down to the volvos I was originally there for...and the 94 is a F**KIN MANUAL. DAMMIT. There's a high possibility that it's a single-mass flywheel. Looks like I'm going back! It's a heatwave here currently too, so that should suck pretty bad.
