2000 Lincoln LS 5spd to 6spd swap

[decipha]

I currently have a bone stock 2000 LS with the stock 5spd Getrag 221 manual trans.

I plan on tossing a little 70mm turbo on her in the future so with that in mind and hearing how weak the 221s are, ive decided to swap a t56 in her.

If anyone has any insight im open to all input and or suggestions


thanks in advance

in my searching ive uncovered a great secret that apparently not many are aware of

An M5R1 from a 1991-2008 Ford Ranger with the vulcan 3.0L is a direct bolt in
The contour specific 3.0L Duratec flywheel is a direct bolt in

The starter may need to be replaced to mate properly

The M5R1 is a very stout transmission, i have 9 supercoupes with the M5R2 trans and i give them hell
