same trans if i am not mistaken... ?

the 4 cyl and 8 cyl t-5 are different. the 5.0L mustang t-5 gearboxes have cast-in identification numbers on the left side of the main case, just forward of the rear face, on the extension housing's shifter tower. 5.0 t-5 shifter tower numbers start w/ "13-52-065." the diff. is "world class" vs. "non world class". i could fill up the rest of the page w/ other minute diffs. but thats the main jist of it. i would recommend buying "The Official Ford Mustang 5.0: technical reference and performance handbook, assuming u don't already have it. its like my bible now. as soon as i can i'll post a pic of me sleeping w/it under my pillow.

Here's the chart...Look for a stamped metal strip tag on one of the rear housing bolts.

There's an age old debate about which to use, and a lot of people think that just because the 4 banger trany was for the 4 cylinder car that it's going to explode if you put it behind a 5.0...well, they ARE weaker, but for a mostly stock 302, as long as you don't miss any shifts you'll be fine. I've got a friend who swears by them, he won't run anything but them. They're actually a cheap way to lower your gear ratio as opposed to getting gears. He runs low 13s in his.

my friend is using one and says he found way more torque feeling in his, and other people with modded 5.0's say his can't be stock but it is.
