US uses foot-pounds. Its easily converted to newton meeters. My manual swap is on the way. I finnaly sourced a turbo diesel M46 bellhousing and flywheel. I'm planning on buying the adapter and swaping in a mustang T5 manual. They can hold over 300 ft/lbs of torque in stock form (I converted it, thats a little over 400 nm), and are readily available around here, unlike the m46/47

There are a couple places that sell the adapter... If you get the more expensive one, no machine work is required, and you use the volvo bellhousing along with the volvo clutch hardware like release bearing and the cable, since non of that would change. The only trick will be finding the correct diameter clutch thats the T5 mustang 10 spline. From what I have read on T-bricks the shifter location is pretty close, and with a little work to the shifter (building one that is like a "S" to get it back farther) its pretty decent. The rear mount will have to be custom, but I don't see that as a big deal. According to our supplier here at work, the diesel clutch interchanges with the B230FT turbo gas cars. However, the clutch kit with the disc is only shown to fit the diesel cars, so I'm guessing its the disc that different. I'll just have to measure the flywheel, and find a disc thats the correct size and center. I'll also find the specs for the diesel clutch thickness and compare to make sure I get correct clutch clamping force. From what I hear over on T-bricks, those guys use a 6 puck sprung disc with the turbo diesel p-plate and have good luck holding 250hp or better.

Try a t5 from a 94 or 95 the shifter is more rearward. The input shaft is also a little longer. I did the t5 swap in my 83 244 turbo. It shifts nice but a little more noisy than a m46/47. Have fun its not a hard swap I did mine 2 years ago and still going strong. John at vintage performance is very helpful

Thanks for the info.. I'm not worried about noise so much, I really only want to do the swap one time, and I know the M46 isn't going to hold up to how hard I run the car.

I had a T5 in my 5.0L 745 swap (bolted to Mustang engine of course). It's a nice box that can take a lot of abuse. Doesn't shift as smooth as an M46 and I would miss the electronic overdrive, but if you are going to make major power it would be the way to go.

They are also cheap and unlike the m46/47 units, are easy to find in the midwest!
