Found a motor

[MunsterBro95]

So looking at a motor that was in a Mach 1 today but it had the manual trans. should I also try to get the trans from him or should I stick with the 4R70W? Not sure which is better? If I stick with the stock trans, what do I need to get to make it work? Or if I use the manual, what do I need. Not sure if anyone has done it. Any websites that y'all know of to order parts would be appreciated. I know I will need a flex plate if I stick with the auto, but not sure of anything else. Thanks for the help

164 tooth 8 bolt flex plate. The correct size of torque converter bolt spacing I can't recall but I had bought a used one online from a mid 2000's F150 for like $40 and it was correct. Just verify the spacing with someone.

Manual trans here. [emoji1303]Trust me, you don't want to attempt it with limited resources.

Everything and anything which is why it requires unlimited resources to attempt. He has a thread on the install and parts.

If there was simply a list of parts to pick up you'd see more cars converted.

These cars can't be built with a shopping cart, it's a Marauder thing. [emoji6]

So looking at a motor that was in a Mach 1 today but it had the manual trans. If I stick with the stock trans, what do I need to get to make it work? It's accepted that the Marauder is basically a Mach 1 motor, so changing the flex plate should be all that's needed to use the 4R70W.

You can trust justbob's advice on a manual conversion...it was really a labour of love. Pretty much everything was custom or needed to be modified. Things broke...a lot...although he seems to have it sorted now.

I thought I saw a kit for sale for a manual transmission swap for these cars. The kit even stated that it would take a ton of modification to make it work....that was after spending $5k-$6k on the kit.
But that shifter looks so amazing. I miss shifting gears.

Adtr has a manual swap kit for panthers.
