I have sitting in my garage in my Mustang, or if I want to try and get a 6-speed manual for the Lincoln engine and stuff THAT in there instead.What are your opinions on the matter? Eventually this car IS going to get a V8 swap. I just don't know which one now... The 5.0L is a more cost-effective swap and I can use the 5-speed I already have in the car. The 4.6L will obviously fit the k-member properly without modification, and I have the complete donor car, but I have to find a transmission and flywheel, PLUS any mods I want to do will be more expensive...</blockquote>
