Bought it got it home backed it up to where it sits now and let it run for about 5 mins. Started smoking, thought it was just the busted brake booster leaking on the headers, i was wrong Busted valve cover.

a four cylinder transmission will work fine behind a 5.0 they didn't make them weaker than the 5.0 ones, first gear is a different ratio though, before everyone goes screaming bloody hell I've used them in stock swaps and all was well, also 2.3 turbo's have the same transmission as non turbo cars, torque rating from ford is 260-280 for all of them, along the lines of the input shaft length and diameter and how that'll work it all depends on what transmission you have, seen several 5.0 mustangs with 2.3 tranny's behind them though, and they all did very well. The 7.5 will be fine if you keep burnouts to a minimum also (again 2.3 turbo)
