My modded ED 5.0L 270rwhp is to become a 347.
The auto is slowly dying so at same time as stroking will redo the auto. Current box is 95LE with a morestall convertor. Any suggestions of a better ATX to use- either later model or rebuild. Is a daily driver. Richie.

Not sure, but I am supercharging mine in the near future so am running a 95 LE with BA XR6 turbo bands, valves, shift kit.
Tuner reckons this should be alright for 170rwkw, but I guess the 347 is gonna pump out alot more...

the 4 spd auto is a crap box and ford should be ashamed of it. if i were you i'd be on the lookout for a T5 conversion kit

Yep - decision made ! Will look to manual conversion.
To rebuild and beef up auto - probably looking around $3000 & still have issues with convertor and PCM. At least with manual I can use A9L ecu and have more control with the Tweecer over the EECIV but not sure about smartlock. Any ideas for box type etc ? Richie.

dont you have to be careful of what t-5 you get, some cant take a whole lot of power
when i was looking at going manual i was told the stock V8 manual is limited to 250kw i was told to either get a Super Duty T-5 or a Extra Heavy-Duty and they were not cheap In my ford racing performance parts book it quotes 1,400 - 1850 for the box's alone, in american $$

ist the extra heavy duty T5 just the T5Z in the BA? i believe you can get any T5 box rebuilt to T5Z specifications.

Hi richie,
If you want to stay auto get an AODE/4R70W from a '94-95' stang. You can use a Baumann engineering TCS to control it or use a T4M0 or similar '94-'95 stang EEC and your TwEECer and it will control both engine and trans. Pete. |
