Ok since I am a fairly new member i haven't heard much about this swap, but from what I have read i guess there has been some disscusion on the topic.

But anyways, I have a 1994 Mustang V-6 and I am planning to do the swap this year to a carb. 351, and I need to know if my tranny will need to be replaced if so what do you recommend? And what are some of the other items besides an 8.8 rear(in which i plan to put either 3.73 or 4.10 gears in) , what else is needed or recommended?


and one last question, I am not farmiliar with the horsepower rating on the 351, if i had a Holly 770cfm Street Avenger carb, the stock heads port and polished, Edelbrock Performer lower intake, Hooker equal length shorty headers, off road x-pipe and Flowmaster 2 chamber American Thunder Exhaust?

thanks....

Yes you would need a new transmission. Basically, take your pick, C4 or Tremec...whichever you prefer. For hp figures, see this months issue of MM&FF, there's a real nice article on carbed motors/dyno numbers in there.
