I am a Fox body Mustang guy (actually I'm kinda getting out of the Fox body stuff, I love the 65-66 cars) and I am looking for a little help and think you old school Mustang guys might be able to help.
I know the early cars often had 3 speed manual transmissions and the 4 speed was an option. Who made Ford's 3 speed stick trannies? What model was put behind the V8's? Which model is the strongest? I knwo I6 transmissino are weak and not what I would want.
And why am I asking about 3 speeds? I am planning to build a street rod and I want to run a 3 speed stick because the car will be very light and a 4 or even 5 speed would be overkill. And I can not seem to locate any usable info online. So, I though of you guys and thought maybe you could help me out.
