Ford T5 into VR?

[Chirpstr]

I have a couple of good ford t5's both from xf's? I want to put one of the ford t5's in my VR. I got told the input shaft is different with the ford's so can I swap the input shaft from my Commy T5?
Also the mount point Ive heard is different... Anyone done this?

Thanks

pritty sure bellhousing is different and input shaft
i know its easy enoth to swap the bellhousing over but im a bit unsure on the input sharft

Yeah Cheers I know about swapping the bell housing.

Yep as above the bellhousing and input shaft is definately different. Pretty sure it can be done but needs more than just a commodore input shaft as from memory the number of teeth doesn't match up somewhere else with one of the cluster shafts. Sorry thats not too much help...

Yes you can however by the time you change all the stuff you may as well get a reco version of the proper thing.

Ford Factory T5 From an XF???? As far as I knew they never came out with a T5. Only an M76. The M76 has the big '5' written on the side of it. If that's what you're talking about, there's no way I'd be using one of these behind the V6. Just my opinion, but anyway.
