I have just bought a wrecked xh 5l 5 speed and am wondering if everything will swap ok into el sedan? Is the pedal box and tail shaft the same? I already have 4.11 diff gears ready to go in but are they to short for the manual?
Cheers Burkie |

4.11's and 5th gear will see you around 2600rpm at 100klms on the highway I think
I will double check and get back to you  Unsure about pedal box but do you really want to remove the entire dash to fit it? Just buy a mal wood clutch pin. Look it up Mal wood clutch pin also strengthens the clutch pedal better than a stock pedal box

4.11 + eseries T5 = way too short.

The standard clutch pedal box assembly is weak in its standard from - the mal wood pin kit strengthens it or you could weld a bit of metal to strengthen it like I did What happens to a pedal box with any sort of heavy clutch   Add a big chunk of metal so it doesn't bend/flex again  Where your dash ends up if you want to fix or change the pedal box

Not worried bout dash out. Easiest job on an e series. Might just pull it out to strengthen it.
What would be better gear set? 3.7s? |

Unsure what the Mal Wood one is like but I purchased a MGW T5 short shifter with 5 speed knob for a Mustang off MGW
Here is a pic of it fitted with the std gear boot fitted - I have upgraded to a custom black leather gear boot off ebay but don't have a pic

yep, 3.9's would be as far as you would go, it would be very snappy around town, and the V8 has a taller 1st gear than the 6 which doesnt make such a short diff ratio as bad but still a big no to the 4.11's, it would be borderline annoying. |
