t5 research in progress. thanks for the info!! did not realise the mt75 was fixed bellhousi coukd have been an expensive error. does the t5 have a removable bell housing? or can u get longer shafts made to accommodate a plate with the different patterns on? or is t5 the same as the t9 regarding bellhousings?

T5 is one of the few boxes that ford UK bought in rather than manufacturing.

The T5 comes in a number of guises and is probably one of the best supported boxes in performance circles worldwide. Borgwarner sold it of to tremec. t56 is the 6 speed version.

do u know what other vehicles it came in? or is it just ford? and if I use the t5 box which I see arent too expensive and find the cossie diff. is the prop and drive shafts the same throughout the sierra range? looking at flea bay, seems that anything with cosworth cost ten times more. is this because its all uprated? or just the name.

now need to work out if uprating a standard diff with lsd will be cheaper/stronger than a stardard cossie diff which I think already has the lsd built in.

thanks for your help. early stages. but want to have a plan of what I building and before I start tacking metal together.

Rover 75 is FWD, only the V8 version was RWD and they are as rare as hens teeth.

omg. seems the usa is the place to get them. seem common as muck. will be doing further research. but you can get them for 100usd. 70 pounds!. this could fund my build. wonder how many types of t5 there is. bonus is they are loads of gm patten which will fit straight onto the saab. will feed back.
