Good, well neither of us are spending his money so it's a mute point what we'd do

If OP is set on a CHEAP tranny setup, I'd be looking through the local Craigslists and asking around....

For my old 327/powerglided '67 Camaro, I found a Turbo 350, rebuilt with a shift kit and a generic 10" 3500 stall for $150...they're out there. Having a Turbo 400, I'd agree, is kinda overkill, but he has a line on a cheap one, then I'd grab it...That's what I have in my heavy a$$ big block Chevelle and it'll probably never break....but then again, I've never broken a 4L60e either.

Having owned over a dozen Fox bodies in the past, I'd love to put an LS1 engine in one with a baby cam, a decent 4l60e w/a nice Yank or Vig 3600 stall, and have an EASY 11 second car that can be driven and enjoyed as a daily driver if need be.

You can make a coupe/sedan Mustang 2800# without even really doing any gutting. I had one that was 2830# with a 5.0 Ford engine and full interior. I removed all of the insulation from under the carpet (80# right there), chucked the AC and added a fiberglass hood, aluminum heads, and Weld Draglites. I'd think an aluminum block/head LS with a tubular K member would be even lighter?

To make a Fox hook, you do not need a bunch of high dollar stuff at all...
Here's a tire punishing 1.51 60 foot, 10.24@133 launch on one of my old cars....a 3470# re-bodied 86 LX hatchback

Suspension mods:
Welded in subframe connectors and custom built 8 point rollbar
Lakewood boxed rear lower control arms (you could box your own)
Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks and struts (stock replacements)
Stock rear upper control arms (could also be boxed)
Stock coil springs front and rear (airbag in Right Rear w/20psi)
Stock swaybars front and rear
Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT legal tires (27x10's on 8" wheel)

Without the front swaybar and with 90/10 and 70/30 front struts, the car would lift quickly then drop and unload the rear tires every other pass. With swaybar back on the front and stock struts, it dead hooked EVERY time. I probably made 500 passes in this car...

I run a RMVB TH350 in a 3600 lb camaro. This behind a 451 CID LSX. Times are 10.80's. I'm pretty sure the 350 will suffice. Motor wise, I would try to find JY 5.3.

I get off work the previous evening and get into the vehicle. It fires up fine and dandy, no faltering, no worked start.. simply typical! I allow it a moment to begin circling oil and start on my way home. Rollover to the bank 3-4 minutes away since I expected to get some money to take care of a companion of mine. Mood killer the vehicle, utilize the machine, and bounce once again into the vehicle. I fire her up however this time I realized something was off. It fired up snappy yet appeared to be odd, as just 50% of the chambers terminated or something. The vehicle is currently running Unpleasant. I can hear little explosions so I realized the vehicle was failing. Inactive is a little shakey, a vehicle is shaking, no smoke other than the customary steam since it was 31 degrees out the previous evening. Pop the hood and verify whether something may be detached, or a vacuum spill or whatever! Other then some odd "pinging" everything appeared to be ordinary. Get once more into the can and I notice the SES light is squinting. That is correct, I'm ****ed! Turn the vehicle off and prepare to hit my mother to get me since I'm not going to attempt to drive this vehicle in this condition home when I get the plan to fire the vehicle up once more. Start the vehicle up again and it has returned to ordinary! NOTHING! The vehicle is sitting fine, the exhaust has returned to sounding ordinary, no seriously pinging and even better.. NOSES! I drive her home fine and dandy.. nothing else occurs. Return home and do the CODE-Understanding Strategy and spring up with P0300. Presently I knew without a doubt the vehicle had been failing. I drove the vehicle to work today and it drove fine. Drove her back home, same. What the heck Isn't right WITH THIS Vehicle? Get more information from JDM Sport Classics! First, the dumb admission cam timing solenoid going abnormal and Irregular snapshots of discharge failure insanity? This vehicle is moronic.
