Hi, I am new to the forums and was wondering a few things. First off, I am looking at a 1989 5.0 GT but it is an auto and I was wondering how hard it would be to install a 5 speed in it, or is the auto a better option for a track car. I am planning on dropping a crate motor in but not until next year. I was looking at the 302 or 306 GT40 crate that produces 345 hp. Is this a good starting power plant, because the engine in the car I am looking at has 180K on it and if I start modding, I want a newer engine. Thanks in advance.
