Yes,the T5 is a V8 unit. I've been shifting about 2500 rpm just cruising around.....drops the rpm to just under 2000 after the shift and the car loves it. I drove about 50 miles this morning and still am amazed how well it pulls 5th gear at 1600- 1900 rpm. The final drive ratio in 5th is 1.89!
My block is from an '82 Capri,but I didn't pull it out. It was swapped out in favor of a 302 by the Capri's owner and I bought the complete engine from him.I needed it so I could run the V8 T5 bell and clutch with the T5 trans and it's working very well. It's just a blast to drive now!
