Greetings. . . .Am picking up an 82 GL Mustang on Sunday and want to get right to work on it. A while back I had a 347 stroker built for a Sunbeam Tiger I had but ended up letting the Tiger go due to economic issues. So, I will now have a nice solid fox body to put the 347 in.
I will need an 8.8 rear and am unsure what years are best and will plug and play. Will also need 5 bolt front end. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I was thinking a readily available T5 trans would be suitable until I read that they are only rated to 300 ft lbs torque. I don't recall the torque rating on the 347 but at 425 HP it must be over 300. What is a good trans to install. The car will be used mainly for cruse nights and a couple of trips to the strip. I don't have unlimited resourses but want to do the job right.
Any imput will be appreciated. . . . . . thanks. . . . Bill
