your going to want the 6sp that comes with the 4.6, the t5 would tear apart with the power if it would even fit. you might need a custom driveshaft, obviously a new computer from the car ur getting the motor from. a few fuel upgrades and etc. you'd be better off buying a totaled cobra with a good drivetrain.

you need the tranny that fits that year motor, not sure if it was the tremec 3650 or something else, I 'm not up on what the newer mustangs used as trannies, but a t-5 has the wrong bellhousing and if it would work it'd hold up to the power, cause my 85/347 is using a stock t-5 and it puts out more power than a stock cobra 4.6

theres a site called modularfoxes, or something like that. The entire site is dedicated to people with fox bodies putting 4.6 motors in them.
