I'm curious if Ford ever released a 5 speed manual version for the EL Ghia 5Ltr models. Does anyone know?

Was just curious about what you'd have to do to convert an auto V8 Ghia to a 5 speed as I believe the regular V8 auto Ghias have an auto trans computer whereas the I6's don't. ( I think )

The last of the manual fairmont ghias were the EB series 1. I almost bought a smashed one about three years ago, EB fairmont ghia 5 litre 5 speed. Looking back on it I should have bought it.

Well the reason for the question was that seeing as the EL V8's came with an auto transmission computer, if you were to install a T5 into the V8, would you just need to disconnect the auto trans computer and mod the stock ECU for manual or would there be more to it?

maybe it would be like the i6's where a couple of resisters tell the computer its in neutral/park? not 100% sure on that one
