    shelby turbo 400 swap

    Well the time has come to yet again do trans work to the shelby. After breaking a bunch of 6 speed junk I went to a c-4, that went good for a minute but still broke so now were off to the turbo 400. Hopefully this will take care of the problem.

    Pretty hard to beat a TH400. Has anyone messed with the TH 350 in the mustang world?

    Im still waiting on a failure report from pa on what broke , it took a crap on the two three shift and the input shaft looked like a candycane. It sucks changing transmissions because it had a lifetime warrenty. Im not sure about a 350 trans but I looked into a glide but was told my car is a heavy pig and was advised against it.

    The strength you get from a 400 is second to none.
