if its not the oil pan and is the mail seal, you gotta take out the trans, its a pretty big job if you dont know anything about cars, but it shouldnt take to long, might wanna check out the clutch while your at it, maybe put in a good high performace one, since your there already

Euros on a Mustang = [:'(]
He had some sense and took em off! lol

As far as what headers to get, look into BBK and MAC. Both are good products capable of delivering what you are looking for. If you dont mind spending the extra dollar for a new midpipe, I would go with long tubes. If you just wanna keep it simple I would go with some BBK ceramic coated shorty headers. All you would have to do is bolt em up. Shorties will make damn near the same power as long tubes until you get into really high horse applications. LT headers just give your mods more room to grow in.

LOL your going to change the rear main on a aod/aode car. I would put a converter in while your at it, maybe a 3000 or so. Those trans are HEAVY. We put a couple of converters in and everytime I swear it will be the last one i do, lol.

You just take out the drive shaft, unbolt the converter from the flywheel, disconnect all linkages, take out the bolts that attach the engine and trans, unbolt the cross member and lower the trans. Nice and uneasy.
Then you change the rear main...
