Hi Guys

I'm new here, and all things are new to me
Have an '68 charger and i'm doing a hemi swap on it.
I wanna know if the T5 trans from a mustang v8 can be used with the 5.7 hemi from a 2007 charger.
The engine will be stock power (340 hp)
I do already have the mounts, oil pan...the basic
and Chris is gonna make the harness to me

Any idea ? I searched for T56, but are too pricey

Sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil and the car is in Pensacola, FL.
I'm doing it at distance...its a little bit harder

Thanks
 
It won't take a lot of abuse. What about a Tremec? You should try to get the best transmission you can to save you from doing the job again later.
 
Info from the web:


"I adapted a 1994 Mustang T5 to my 340 engine. I have most of the notes out in the garage. I used the stock bellhousing and had an adapter plate machined to bolt to the bellhousing to accomodate the T5"s bolt pattern and also machined the center hole larger for the T5's bearing retainer. This adapter plate cost me about $140.00. I used the stock Ford 10.4" 10 spline 5.0 clutch disc but I had to use a chevy 10.5 " heavy duty diapragm pressure plate for clearance reasons and not the stock chrysler 3 finger pressure plate. I had a pilot bushing machined to fit the stock 10.5 " chrysler flywheel to fit the T5's input shaft. The pilot bushing was machined using oilite to fit the larger opening just behind the stock pilot bushing location in the mopar flywheel. I used a stock Ford 28 spline transmission driveshaft Yoke to fit the rear of the T5 transmision. I used the stock mopar clutch fork but the big block mopar throwout bearing that fits over the T5' retainer bearing shaft. This throwout bearing fits over the T5's bearing retainer shaft perfectly. I use a hydraulic clutch system with a slave unit. After many hours of trial and error, this all came together and works great. Since I did this I have upgraded to a Tremec TKO transmission and had to change some components such as the clutch disc had to be changed and another adapter plate made to bolt the tranny to the mopar bellhousing. I also got a pilot bearing instead of using the oillite pilot bushing. I still have two of these pilot bushings I had made of oillite. I used the same Hydraulic clutch assembly. I got the Tremec TKO from Keisler's. Speedometer cable came from Mike Forte. I used the B&M Ripper shifter on the T5. This 340 5 speed is in my 32 Chevy coupe. Just thought I would pass this info along. Coupe32"

Small block Mopar and Hemi have the same bellhousing bolt pattern.
