I believe an adapter plate would work, I recall seeing that someone had done it before but I can't remember where. Sounds like you're on track to get it on the road though, and that's what really counts. As long as you don't powershift or go to the drag strip I think your T5 will last a while.

Part number: BF06G31
This will adapt a g265 to a 302. I believe you can use a standard 302 clutch kit. I have just started looking into this for my 331 swap. Both input shafts are 10-spline. I haven't figured out what to do for a pilot bushing yet but apparently this is a popular swap with racers in South Africa, so someone has a solution.sigpic

I wonder how much a Getrag 265 goes for these days... between that and the bellhousing adapter it's probably not cheap.
This is what I was talking about:
Всем привет ) Что то никто не делал, а я вот захотел )) расписывать особо не буду, просто мотор от форд бронко/мустанг и им подобным в Бмв )) переделан с инжектора на карб и все ещё ведутся доработки…
A simple adapter plate has this guy's 302 hooked up to a Getrag 260. This is the option that would have me V8 swapped, but I can't find any info on it anywhere. It wouldn't be a terribly complicated piece to have one made custom, but it would require access to the engine and transmission for measurements and mocking up - something I don't have.Last edited by varg; 01-06-2018, 10:49 AM.

I emailed Gilo engineering in South Africa. They make and sell a bell housing for the G265 to small block Ford for $241. With shipping I'd guess it'd be $300 all said and done. I don't know what G265's go for these days because I haven't found one for sale yet. There is a couple m30's at my local u pull it. I think they want $150 for a trans. I hear they are stupid expensive to have rebuilt.
I've read g260's can hold 500hp. I'd love to find an adapter for that since I already have a g260 laying around. I wonder what that guy did you make up for the thickness of the adapter.sigpic

Found a T5 bellhousing on eBay this morning for $65 shipped, jumped on it.
I may look into adapting the E46 ZF trans to the 302 in the future, pulled that out of my 330ci 5 years ago, probably not a bad choice.
edit: And found a $22 clutch fork. Just need clutch and flywheel now.Last edited by Elysian; 01-10-2018, 02:14 PM.
