For a 351, I'd have to at minimum get a gasket set, and motor mounts. I have a c4 and c6 at my disposal, but no v8 t5's.

Why would you want a shitty T5?  Why would you want a manual transmission Mustang, at all?  They feel like crap to drive, and never hook like an automagic.   Build the C6 with a reverse valvebody and stall and proceed to fall in love.

BTW, you suck at life and I want to stab you in the forehead with a pencil, but run an EEC-V ECU (CBAZA, CRAI8, CRAJ0 strategies recommended) and bring it to me for tuning.

Why would you ever want anything automatic unless it's a truck? I know most v8's get run with auto's and they work very well drag racing. i just could never have a car with one.

Turbo auto V8 with a manual valve body and reasonable stall is a whole 'nother story. It's not exactly a boring slushbox when it's putting several hundred HP to the ground.

So the fox chassis it is. Still up in the air on powertrain. But it will be turbo whatever it is

Nice... You are getting the civic of the 'muscle' world. Hopefully you are in a place that is not infested with mustangs, like around here.

A large diameter trans like a c6 with a manual VB isnt exactly your mom's accord when it shifts.  More like getting hit in the in the kidneys with a brick when your trying to have sex.

Matt, you really need to drive even a mild 400-ish whp Mustang with a stall/valvebody C4/C6/TH-something, and enough suspension work to keep the read end from bucking and hitching around in an ignorant fashion.  Then go drive the manual transmission equivalent.  You'll throw up a little in your mouth.  The manual trans is a necessary evil if you want to roadrace the car, but it's obviously the crappiest design made in the last 20 years.  If you are building a big turbo car or even a humble yet frisky street car the automagic box is the only way to fly.

Yeah, i'm sure my ignorance on the subject cloads my opinion on them. But i do get a chance to ride in a built 6.0L auto FC rx7 with a turbonetics tc78 once snow melts. should be a hell of a ride, just might change my opinion on v8 auto's, haha

fidn yourself a s12 like i did.  lol

You can usually score the motor/trans cheaper locally. My friend picked up a 5.3L for $500 with 80k. If I didn't have my firebird, I'd be doing that.

[snm95ls]

Wait, so T5s and their variants are garbage?

Who knew?

I'd love to have an s12. Seriously.
And for the Auto, I love a properly prepared auto. I had the TH-350 living behind the small Olds I built years ago at 500 something torque. It was basically a stock valve body, except a trans go strip kit. That was a fun car.

[random-strike]

my next car: get one and be just like me. super cool
