i am new to the fox body/automatic mustang. my 67 had a 4 speed manual and my 2001 has a 5 speed. well i just found out today that my aod on my 88 gt vert has a lot of metal in the pan and my converter isn't locking up properly. my question is what kind of transmission would you recommend? i don't want to just rebuild this one because what i have learned is they aren't capable of holding up to alot of power. i have to keep it auto because of a promise made to my girlfriend. anyways i have a 347 swap happening this winter and i want a trans that will stand up to roughly 500 supercharged hp. any recommendations would be appreciated. thanks

Here's some info you might find interesting

Also, be SURE to look at the trans tech articles in www.tccoa.com, the first one.
