Hello everyone!
I have a 1970 Cougar with a 351-W under the hood mated to a 4-speed top-loader transmission. I'm looking for ideas to replace the worn 4-speed with a swap-in 5-speed. The motor is built to the hilt and puts out about 500 Horse/ft-lb. Any suggestions for a 5-speed that will fit directly in (without altering the body) and still take the power the drivetrain can put out? I've considered a Tremec, but I understand it usually requires altering the transmission tunnel.
Thanks!
