5.3 in a 93 notch Foxbody?????? I'm hopefully buying a 93 4cyl. Foxbody for like 300 bux from a friend of mine, runs good, nice body an inside. I want to swap in a 5.3 and use the exsiting T5 5spd, the purpose of the build is a DD/toy and to keep from having to put miles on my Camaro (26k), and to be as CHEAP as possible. Does anyone make engine mounts, driveshafts and bellhousings to make this swap easier????

I still want to do it if i can get motor mounts without having to buy that expensive k-member and find a bellhousing to mate the t5 to the 5.3.

the cheapest way would be find a stock 4.6 k member that someone removed to install a tubular one then re build the 4.6 mounts and im not sure if anyone makes a adapter bellhousing i doubt it
$25 bucks plus shipping if anyone wants it..

The 4 cylinder T5 is a REALLY weak trans. The V8 ones arent much better. You'll spend more $$$ for a bellhousing than that trans is worth. If the 4 cylinder T5 is good, it's worth about $75. Do a TH350 if you want a cheap solution or a 6 speed if you can get the $ for it.
