Simple physics...to get something you gotta give something up. Most guys with autos go with the 4.10's but you will give up some mileage. Also a transgo shift kit makes all the difference in an AOD. a 3K stall will add to the kick also.

Luck

It won't kill your gas mileage but it will go down a little bit. If you can't decide then just compromise and get 3.90s. Besides, you drive a v8 mustang, gas mileage should be the last thing you worry about.

I'm running 3.90s, custom built 3000 rpm stall, and I'm going to be ordering an Automatic/Manual valvbody within the next couple of weeks. This set up works great for a DD/weekend warrior.

C6 won't bolt up to a 302 anyways, made mostly for big blocks. Get an AOD.
There are plenty of c6's for the SBF, every one my my trucks had a SBF and a c6, they are everywhere. Look in older f 150s. 87 and down models

Well i know in the trucks there are E4OD's which is a 4 speed auto + OD so 5-speed auto. I am sure they make a 5 speed auto for the cars
