A Ford Racing Super-Duty T-5: 330ft/lbs capacity. Mustangs run 400hp through the stock 300ft/lb transmissions with no issues. This one should be enough for me... for a while.















I have to make a trip to Summit - Hopefully the last before Columbus - to pick up seat belts, a coolant catch can, and a shifter boot. I'll finish up the trans cross member this week and fill the hole for the other shifter. The cross member probably is not needed but the mount is there so I may as well use it. I may get a different shift handle - I'll see how this one fits with the bucket seats. I was thinking about getting an aftermarket shifter but the throw is so much shorter and the feel much more positive than that universal 3 speed deal I had - I'll put that off for a while. The drive shaft should be back by the end of next week.



There is still much more work to do. The floor pan still isn't finished. But I am one step closer to finished enough for the trip to columbus. I really hate working on the floor pan. Completing these smaller projects in between prevents me from burning out.



Does anyone know if there is a break in procedure? It had no instructions. I know it needs ATF for lubrication. I have not yet tried to contact Ford Racing.
