Re: Converting 4 cyl. to 6

u'll still need to panelbeat the tunnel a bit for the T5 but no where near as much as for the auto. you'll also have to chop the rear gearbox support chassis rail cos the T5 is longer than a single rail and the shifter will come up exactly where the chassis rail is. still, it'd be a lot easier than tryiing to squeeze in a 4sp auto. the BW40 auto will fit straight in cept the cooler pipes are on opposite sides.

how did you go with the humps or end seals in regards to the cortina sump? i cant remember exactly now anymore but i found that the either the I6 or 250 had slightly bigger humps and that it would have leaked.
