I'm looking at differnt transmissions and would a muncie 4 speed be better in a 84 mustang(police intercepter) than a t-5? My t-5 was blown and was thinking it was from the power of the car. this car will be a daily driver and a car that will blow by honda's accasionaly. and maybe extreme burnouts, the brake bais is like 95 front 5 in the rear. i got the car like this. any help would be appratiated..

muncie is chevy stuff[:'(][:'(].......top loader or t-10 is ford..t-5 will be fine for you..what goal do you have for power output ??

Well, if your lookin to have fun, and not worry, a T-5 isn't the right trans. lol While not total garbage, they're just more on the week side. However i've heard a good old muncie 4spd is pretty badass, i'de love to have one in my car! You'll lose the 5th gear, but I think it's worth it. Then again, I think it's friggin awesome to say you have a 4 on the floor too. lol Does muncie make a 4 speed that fits the 5.0 stangs?

^^^there's so much better technology out there nowadays to choose from..the days of scavanging the bone yard for potential swap performance parts is over..you wanna have fun buy a tremec

yeah but if i dont have $2000 to spend on a trans. i think i might just get a used t-5. with a 4 speed would i get good low end? just incase i want to take it to the track. the trans that was in it would go 80MPH in second gear.......

that's not a result of your trans gearing... that is a result of **** poor rear end gears.. most likely 2.73's[:'(]

get a t-5 from Astroperformance.com They sell rebuilt stuff that can hold like 600 to 700 hp for a reasonable price or they have rebuilt units that hold a little better then stock for like $600-700

it does 80mph in second because it's fast...

If it was the stock 84 trans, it's alot weaker than the later ones. Not sure if it was 86 or later when they changed to the World Class T-5. Get one from a 90 or so stang and you should be fine.

no...you could put 273s in a 86 toyota corola and it would do 80 mph in 2nd gear, it is your gearing not the power...
