Default The best tranny for an auto 92' 5.0??

I just bought a 1992 5.0 foxbody with an automatic trans, that the OD went out on. My foxbody is a daily driver, but I still wanna blow the doors off the rice burners at the stoplights. Anyone have any suggestion on a good replacement tranny for my new toy?

Is the car stock? If so then stick with an AOD. A C4 is a good option when you start modifying.

If you wanna blow the doors off of ricers you better get moding and not worry to much about the tranny right now.

you really only have 1 choice.

the best choice is ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FORD AOD

but you wanna be all bullheaded and im guessing just might wipe ur @$$ with 100 dollar bills. if not......i hope you can start to lol

but....feel free to waste money

lentech is your ONLY option. dont be retarded and get a stall converter less than 3000, cuz if u do you'll be on here saying

"my new trans that i just spent $4k on feels all stock...how can i tell if i really have a 2200 stall ????"
