Default Front wheel drive transmission 5.0

Hey guys i was wondering if anybody knows if theres a front wheel drive transmission that bolts up to a 5.0 motor. Im wanting to start a new project and build another 5.0 motor but the catch is i need a fwd transmission.

It would probably be easier to back half whatever your putting the 5.0 in.

I don't honestly know of a ford trans that would do it, the toranado (oldsmobile) used a modified turbo 400 trans

No one said they thought it was a mustang. I have never seen a transverse mounted 5.0 on anything BUT what you might look into are some 3.8 applications. Although there are FWD and RWD blocks for the 3.8 and I think that is because of the transmission mounting.
