Tremec in a bronco

[DustDevilOffRd]

Has anybody installed a tremec transmission in a bronco. Im looking to put one in mine. Factory 302 with 3 speed currently.

I feel like I've seen one or two listed over the years. Why not an nv3550 or ax15?

Advance Adapters made an adapter for a T5 years ago, but no longer. It's a weak transmission for a Bronco and the overdrive is so steep, you'd never use it. There are a lot better choices out there for modern transmission swaps into a Bronco.

X2 on the weakness of the T5. It didnt even hold up well in jeeps. Plus there is no real gain 2.95 first gear only slightly better than a 3sp. There are way better choices than the T5.

I ran a T5 in my bronco for about 5 years and 70,000 miles. I ran a 300 hp motor and it held up fine. I had to run really low gears to use the 5th gear. I did get great mileage on the hwy though.

I'm currently installing a nv3550 behind my 302,with a stock rebuild,from what I've read this is a pretty decent swap.

Go with the nv3550... It's easy to install you can reuse your stock drivelines and they hold up very well, 4 to 1 first gear and overdrive
