another recommendations maybe a ripper shifter? definately look into h/c/i and probably bore over to a 302 ohh yea try changing your fuel filter and spark plugs that sometimes feels and makes a difference like day and night

ya i was actually thinking about switching my auto over to a manual! i found a guy parting out his mustang and it's got all the manual parts! I dunno? anyone think that's actually worth it? i mean instead i could put a shift kit in it? cuz if i change it over i'll probably want some different gears!

If you can get the parts I say do it! In my opinion, to get the full effect you have to have a manual trans, plus I have never heard anyone say they want to go back to an auto once they did the swap.[8D]

im trying to do at t5 swap, and if he gives you everything for $250, that would be one hell of a deal.


a might be buying a fresh rebuilt t5 and all the stuff for a swap for $1000.....




good luck!

(btw, i have a shift kit in my car, its fun when it barks from first into second, but thats about it. id just swap to a t5 if i was you, youll pick up 20-40hp from drive line loss, and also drop 50lbs off the car!)
