I have a 91 5.0 convert. It has a stock aod, and i am thinking about dropping a T5 in it. When you do this do you need to change the computer, from an automatic calibrated computer, to a manul calibrated computer. Also what do you guys think about converting over? Thank you.

There is no need for a computer swap when doing the Aod/t-5 conversion. As for opinions on doing the swap or not, having a 5-speed for smashing around is great. It's alot of fun banging gears around town or at the track, but it really all depends on what you are looking for in your car. If you want a quick street car with occasional track use, I would reccomend doing the swap if you like driving 5 speeds. If you are looking for an all out, balls to the wall drag race car, go with a nice auto tranny with a good stall converter. Not to say 5 speeds aren't good for drag racing, but the auto will be nice and consistant. Good luck with whatever choice you make.

From what I can remember the hardest thing was putting the pedal assy. in. Other than that it wasn't to bad. Took me approx. 8 hrs and when I did it I knew hardly anything about 5.0's.

I picked up .6 in the 1/4. Funner to drive and a little better gas mileage. Burnout's won't be as smooth lookin' though.

Im still working on other things on the car so I dunno what kind of a diffrence ive gained yet.
And T-top was right the hardest part is the pedal assembly and rerouting your speedometer cable.
If you have any question email and ill try to help you.
