But see, now you have to change to a 5 speed to complete the ensemble.

mustang_tbird: that one didnt fit too well actually, if you want to do the console swap, you have to get the radio surround and the lighter panel to fill where the push out lighter would be, and i reccomend getting one for your year car, i had to modify mine to get it to fit right, i have all teh info on my site

Rick Corder: Thats actually my plan, ive got a unique motor swap planned, 5-speed and alot of suspension work to do

You should put a 2.3 turbo in it.

i want to use a 4.2L short block, which essentially is a stroked 3.8L, some worked over later model (94-98) 3.8L heads, cam, modify the CFI system on the car to enhance the flow, and alot of other odds and ends
