Hey guys, I'm brand new to this site, but have been an avid mustang owner for the past 5-6 years. Here's my problem, I have a '65 mustang coupe with a bunch of mods; 289 stroked to 347, bored and stroked, notched and milled, heads ported and polished, dyno flowed to properly match a cam, 750 and edelbrock perfomer intake, mustang II front suspension with disc brake conversion and power rack and pinion.

Now comes the problem... my car originally has a c-4 that I just rebuilt
(don't worry I am ATRA certified) and installed a transgo performance shift kit, but then decided that I wanted to swap out the sluggish rear end with something a little more inkeeping with the front half of the stang, I was thinking maybe 411's or maybe even higher. Now I realize that there is no way I will be able to put this through my c-4 and have any type of top end and I also happened to find a T56 out of a 2004 viper really cheap... now I realize the bellhousing wont work without an adapter plate, and I'm going to need to shorten the drive shaft, and cut a new hole for the shifter, but does anyone else know what all this entails, or even a place where I can find a full or even partial kit?

I really appreciate any help you guys can give me
Thanks


PS. the C-4 is now for sale if anyone is interested, it's solid and fast the shifts are crisp and quick, and it was professionally (not that I'm bragging) rebuilt

Get ahold of this guy . Mike Forte is the Ford trans guru. He'll probably have the parts you need, or atleast know what and where to get it.

You might consider this solution. It worked for me with C4 and 3.80 gears.
