a decent little converter is a must, then a transg AOD-HP shift kit with the high rev govenor will allow it to shift at about 5800 rpms. or you can go with a rather expensive manual VB from Lentech. If the tranny has some wear on it you may want to freshen it up with a good set of clutches and steels and a A+ servo wouldn't hurt either. you can see what I have written on the Transgo kit here. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=404870&page=2&pp=25&highlight=aod-hp

I use the Edge Racing "Mild Street Edge" It works real nice for my car but you should call Andre and he will set you up on the convertor.. For the price Edge makes some real nice stuff. http://edgeracingconverters.com/index.htm

Andre at Edge Racing Converters has always replied to my emails within a day or so and to catch him on the phone it's best to call real early when he first gets there. Tell him you combo and he'll set you up. He seems very knowledgeable.

The shift kit can be boughten from transgo or other speed shop.. I have the AOD-HP about a 1/4 of the way down on this page http://www.txchange.com/sk.htm
