transmission selection
 

i have an 86 hatchback its my first project so i really need all the help you guys can give.
my engine is a 73model 351-clevland 30 over,
keith black silvolight flattops, lunati cam
part#07112(street or bracketmaster). 2v heads.
any suggestions on 4brl intake,carb,dist

If it will bolt up to it go for a Tremec TKO. I don't know squat about the clevland's, but it is cool as hell that you are stuffing one in there.

Blown 347 W/Canfield heads, solid roller cam, track times this spring mid 10's or bust

93lx 5.0 daily driver

the only advice i would give you is not to go any bigger than a 750 on the carb, that itself might be even too large for the street. try a 650, holley or whatever.

1985 Mustang GT 15,000 original miles, cam, intake, headers, carb, windage tray, you know the goodies

I'd consider using an older style trans that would be easier to mount to a 351C like an FMX or something. I'm not sure what kind of bolt patterns they carry or if a tranny designed for late model 5.0s will even bolt up. Also, have you considered what a huge pain a non-factory Cleveland installation is? They're a bit wider which makes it hard as hell to fit stuff in. I'm not saying don't do it...not by any means. Just be careful.
