Well the wifes 95gt has almost 100k on it. Its an auto. I was thinking of putting this motor in it. http://www.proformanceunlimited.com/specs/302_380/302_380efi.html Can I still keep the stock trani for now or do I need to get a stall?

You could put that motor in. I assume when you say 'stall' you're referring to your torque converter.. but if your wife's GT is an automatic, it already has one, and you can re-use your entire transmission setup.
However, for the price of that engine, you could sell the GT, get her a nice, newer Mustang, and still have some money left over to get her some diamonds and take her on vacation. I wouldn't buy it, simply because it's expensive. Build your own engine, pull one from a junkyard and drop that in, or sell the car and get her something fresh.
Good luck!

Please do not buy that motor......Find a machine shop that will sell you a stock rebuilt short block, buy some aluminum heads and intake. Spend a third of what the motor cost. Have someone install it for you. Fresh motor, half of the price and some dough to spend on your girl.

the hardest thing to bild when building a motor is the short block. Having a motor on a stand and putting on the heads and intake yourself is cake. Look into it seriously.
