T56 if you can find one for a good price. The extra gear will always do you good.

yeah, I think so . . not sure either.
bolt pattern is the same for all of them, you'd have to get an adapter for the trans mount, and a diffrent driveshaft (or section your current one) too . ..

Uh no. The bolt pattern for a 4.6 and a 5.0 is completely different. You can use a 5.0 bellhousing with the 3.8L, but you'll need a 10" flywheel.
You can modify an automatic wiring harness to operate a manual very easily. You will disable the TCC and TR sensors, and keep the VSS connected, along with output shaft speed.
As for having another gear, it's most certainly not always "better" A T56 will slow your car down tremendously in the 1/4 mile (if that's what you're concerned with). Also, I would not suggest running dual power adders, that's ricer mentality. If you need to make power, you're going to need to build the engine around one of them.

The ricers got it from the 5.0L crowd in the 80s.
It's your car, don't let others define what you do with it.

I would have to agree , the T-56 is too heavy and the first gear is practically useless in a track configuration (for a Mustang ) . A G-force
helical cut / dog ring would be much better coice IMHO.
As for the dual Power adder I have been there done that , if you are going to get a Procharger get the D-1 , you can upgrade to a D-1 with a three core intercooler for the same amount as the Nitrous system.

yeah, I reckon it depends on how you plan to use it. I'm not into drags as much a road racing, and rallying.
Comes from motorcycling, i guess.
If you're going serious street/strip, I'd recommend a C4. If not, a 5 speed will do.
Didn't even see the dual power adder q . . . If you're planning to keep it streetable duals are a way to go. If you're going all out - listen to kwondi & GT.
But you've got to figure out what you want to do, before putting together combination you'll hate.

yea except for the fact that there were no such thing as huge exhaust tips, wings, and body kits in the 80s. so by that theory, ricers owe modding their cars to model A's and the flathead ford? no dont think so.
as for the trans, i would personally build an automatic if you plan on running the juice. why? because you cant miss a shift with an auto while you are spraying.

Back in the 80s the codpieces were cowl induction hoods, big&littles, metal flakes, and sidepipes.
If you ever see Corvette Summer in the video store rent it.
