I currently have a 1995 5.0 GT-S Auto. As of right now it is fairly stock, I have a off road H piper and catback flowmasters and my timing is at 13 degrees. I love my car , its my first real muscle car. I would like to keep it and work on it. It is an auto and that kinda sucks but people tell me if I do the right things to my tranny and I will be find. I am currently going away to school and I will brining it with me. I am pretty handy with cars and can figure things out. But would like some advise where I should go with it. Like I said before, Auto 5.0 160k on the motor, offroad H piper and catback flowmaster. What do you think I should do where I should go, Ive been told stall torque converter, shift kit and 3.73s..

drive it till it blows, not broke don't fix it with 160k. then upgrade.

3.73's and a shiftkit will be would fun for about a week.

BakerLax3 · 14 Jul 2008, 05:10 pm

well I plan on keeping it for a while and getting a new engine in time but meanwhile I can do things no?

American Psycho · 14 Jul 2008, 05:59 pm

yeah you can. 160k motor and add a cam don't expect to last much longer.

you can do whatever the hell you want. it's not my ride.

robz95xj · 14 Jul 2008, 06:12 pm

what do you want out of it now? for power you could go cold air intake and bigger throttle body, personally i wouldnt spend much on a 5.0 in that heavy of car, time to get somthin a little bigger

1outlaw4real · 14 Jul 2008, 07:27 pm

If you really wanna mod it out you can 4-link it and and put a twin turbo modular motor in it with a five speed linko.Muhahahha

i understand that 160k is a lot on the motor but... i have seen other 5.0s with over 200k on the motor and had work done to it.

mattlikespeople · 15 Jul 2008, 07:03 am

drop the turbo 4cyl in it then jack it up on super swampers plus this

then go ahead and mod it out

1st thing I would do personally is get rid of that AOD tranny...puke. Get a T5 tranny in that sucker. Then I would add 3.73 gears or steaper. Mid or shortie headers, CAI, Throttle body, UD pulley, short throw shifter...that should wake that biotch up nicely.

Soup · 15 Jul 2008, 10:20 am

I'd strip it and get the suspension dialed in, that way when you mod the motor you'll be making the most of your mods.

robz95xj · 15 Jul 2008, 11:19 am

listen to 01mmmz28mulletman he has some goods mod ideas for you, dont listen to soap, he hadno idea about cars, i mean cmon he drives a jetta

BakerLax3 · 15 Jul 2008, 11:51 am

how much do you think it would cost to convert an auto to the T 5?

HKSevo · 15 Jul 2008, 12:34 pm

you could probally find a fairly decent T5 tranny for a little over $400

so im guessing around $700ish total for the whole swap, these mustang guys on here should be able to tell you what all you need and roughly how much.
