Hey,

If you want to stick with the stock bellhousing in your 1989 5.0 you have a few options...

1)Get a t-5 Tranny out of a 1990-1993 Mustang 5.0, these tranny's are rated at 300 ft/lbs of trq compared to your 265 ft/lb 1989. Have better 2nd and 3rd Alloy Gears.

2)Get a 1993-95 Cobra T-5 Transmission, can grab one from summit racing or d&d

3)Rebuild your stock 1989 Tranny with a new cobra kit or hanlon alloy kit, from either

(for the cobra)

or from

(for the hanlon one)
http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/

I believe off the top of my head the cobra and hanlon alloy gear kits are rated around 310-330 ft/lbs of trq.

You might be able to find a geforce t5 tranny or kit mabye on ebay or in the classifieds...do a search for more about the geforce t5. I dont think there being made anymore.

Also you can get a stock sized bellhousing that will allow you to put in a tremec 3550 or tko, dont have to go with a large sfi scattershield type. But if your making alot of power not a bad idea, plus need it when run 11s at the track.

There you go man hope that helps!
