I just had mine completely rebuilt with torque converter 400.00. C4 attached to a 1967 289.

 

swapping the trans is pretty easy and straightforward (if you guys re-read his original post thats what he's asking about) but for 750 bucks the TCI seems like a bargain - course you'll still need a new or rebuilt torque converter, so your looking at 1000 bucks total.

for what its worth, you can bet the TCI streetfighter will be a better built trans with better parts than a comparable priced stock rebuild from you local trans shop.

 

Yesterday we pulled the tranny out of the mustang. A buddy I work with is helping me rebuild it (meaning he is rebuilding and I am fetching beer for him). All told it will cost around 200-250 instead of the 800-900 the shops have been quoting so I am pretty happy about that. It wont get put back together til next weekend though, then the guy I bought it from is gonna finish some work that was promised. And shortly there after, it is getting disc brakes at all four corners. And then I need to rebuild the carb. And after that, the front suspension is getting replaced. And....



no wonder my wife says I spend to much money on the car. But it is gonna be nice when I get done with it!!! I still love that thing.
