So you have an 06, V6, with a 6spd tranny? You devil! My advice - go FI

Ya I noticed this also, it is kinda freak lol.

I forgot about your past FI experience. Another choice may be to keep this as your reliable DD and find another toy to play with. That how the SSP Fox ended up in my driveway.

I have thought about saving up for a lightning. hmmmm I would love to get one one day. But it seems to me that it would be cheaper to just stick a v8 in my car and from other peoples experiences that should not be too hard.

I must say hopup that I'm in love with your fox. It must be a blast to drive.

cool, haven't seen many people doing this.

I think there is only 2 or 3 people that have ever done it.. Very impressive adapter plate created by a collective member Gaylon, the guy's knowledge is amazing on cars.

what six gear ratio & final drive do you have, and how does the V6 handle cruising in 6th?

TR6060 is definitely going in my car....some day.

6th gear ratio is .63. Keep in mind I still have the stock 3.31 gearing. I managed a constant 28mpg driving on I-95 @ 75mph. At 75mph I was at 1900rpm in 6th gear.

I still need to get 4.10 gears so that the gear ratios will be closer to stock. It bogs in 1st gear like a bitch.

hehe, if I draft a semi while going 65mph I can get 28 mpg downhill. I want a taller fifth to get better mileage.

maybe more money than dropping in a 8.8 with 4.10 or swaping gears in the 7.5 but has anybody checked into if you could run a gear vendors underdrive? would give ya 12 speeds could split shift like a 2 speed in a truck that way keep the high overdrive and still get the take off in 1st

how much was the tranny and whered you pull it out from?

I just put the TR6060 in my GT. I love it. So far it shifts great although I've only had it for about 250 miles. I got the whole kit from D&D performance but there are people who have bought the trans on Ebay pretty cheap then pieced together the rest.

Hey if you do switch up to a v8 you going 4.6 or 5.4? You could sell your adapter plate and have that money to put towards the 8 swap

from what I've read about it, its not worth it. Also, I do plan on selling it whenever I swap to a v8. I'll probably swap over to a v8 after I blow this engine

Here are two cheap 4.6 engines one complete with wiring

why not get a 5.4 4V from a NAVi, an drop it in, or even a 5.4 2V or 3V, that would be nice.

The intake manifold would be too much of a pain. I want keep the weight down and build my future v8 all N/a to 400whp.

I'm going to do a new trans where did you get that one and how much was it? Where can I get a gt five speed??

Just troll around mustang forums and call your local junk yards to find a GT trans. I got my 6spd for $1,100 because of the 2nd gear problem.

yea, include price of rebuild (unless diy ), and synchro assays are 400$ EACH...

so, 1100 used, labor + 500... 2500ish.. may as well get brand new.
