Newcomer with question

Hey everyone.

Newcomer to the forums here and I have a question.

I have an '86 Mustang LX hatch, 3.6L V6 automatic, what would be best for performance wise? Leave it an automatic and start building around the engine, or swap the tranny to a manual and drop a 5.0 in it, then later on start building on it?

Thanks.

I would definitely favor the 5.0/manual combo, because the 5.0 has a vast and unsurpassed aftermarket, and it is cheap to work on. Plus, the guys in the 5.0 section can pretty much help you with any possible question you could have.
