Windsor to FE repower

mickmate · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2013, 02:46 PM

Anyone done this with their SPF? It looks like bolt in motor mounts? FE headers fit the sidepipes? Must need a bigger trans than the T5? Anything else I need to consider and price? Thanks for any input.

I just changed my ffr from a 342 to a 445fe, spf may be different but i had to get a new driveshaft, the hole for your shifter may be off, possible radiator?
i have irs and i was already running 600 pound springs front and rear but the egine in a ffr sits behind the front suspension. i am still running my tremmec 3550 trans ok so far.

Bell housing bolt pattern will be different

Nick,

Different engine mount pedistals and the standard different items between Windsor and FE (slave cylinder, etc.) T5 is a non-starter but any TKO is good. I have a set of SPF FE headers on hand...the side pipes are the same. Call if you need more info.
