    it won't bolt up to that tranny, plus it would probably vaporize it anyhow.
    you need a new one

    Hi,,
    I'm still a newbie at this also, but have made this swap into my 54..I have found that if you redo one thing like the motor, then it leads to another..such as brake system, transmission, etc..I also swaped out the straight front end with a mustang II kit..Only recommendation is have a deep pocket book. You can check out the work at <http://www.clgw.net/~tonyp/The%20Beginning.htm>
