Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / July 20072001 4.6L mustang
old man bought a 2001 mustang, 4.6L... he got a good deal and its an automatic. should we keep searching for a 5 speed or are these automatics going to be ok? I think we should swap in 4.10's, it has 2.73's in it currently. Is this a good first move for a stock mustang? Take it racing. If you have the balls, at 145 MPH it will beat almost anything stock that cost within ten grand, except for the 300 HP 5 speed automatic '05 to '07 Mustang, of course. I had a '99, '01,'03.'05 and now an '07. The '05 and '07 will do 150. They handle better, as well. Traction Lox is standard on the GT, but I believe the 3.27 Traction Lox from a '98 would be a better choice up to 100, if you don't mind loosing top end. You might even find a '98 Cobra independent rear, if you want a '99 that will run as good as the '07 in the twisties ;) mike > old man bought a 2001 mustang, 4.6L... he got a good deal and its an > automatic. should we keep searching for a 5 speed or are these automatics [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Is this a good first move for a stock mustang? > the 3.27 Traction Lox from a '98 would be a better choice up to 100, if you > don't mind loosing top end.

I was about to swap gears to 3.55, and want to put in a Limited Slip Diff as I had in my 351 T-bird. I don't care about top speed, I want to give it some guts on a start. What I'm wondering, can I use a Mustang Traction Lock LSD in it (with 3.27 or 3.55) ? I thought I would have to change my driveshaft to an aluminum one to fit that differential.  SignatureDon't drink water, fish have sex in it! The best place to find what will bolt up to what, is at a salvage yard. mike >> the 3.27 Traction Lox from a '98 would be a better choice up to 100, if >> you don't mind loosing top end.
