For tranny depends on what your budget is for economy build coupe is correct the c6 will fit the build for a mild 500 hp and torque and be the cheapest easiest rte. Give us more details on what performance level you are looking for. Because that will determine if the d3 heads will be sufficient. The compression will be low on that year without some engine modification. Those heads are around 95 cc. Also ford put the pistons about .015 below deck heigth.and the exhaust needs some serious work depending on what your goal is. They also put the valves .100 further up in the chamber and this shorten the short turn radius in the head and hurt flow but can be ported to make 500 pretty easy but need atleast .050 shaved.they also put a retarded timing set in them that hurts performance. But can be fixed with earlier set like 70 or so or an aftermarket. A cam with duration favoring the exhaust will also help.and a duraspark with a timing recurve. The sky is the limit. Joe is correct all factory it will give dissapointing results. But with a few mods can make some decent power just like any other engine. Give us more info on what you want from this and we can give you more specifics. Clyde

Plan the build based on your performance goals.that will determine which oil pan and what size headers you will need. Hooker headers. D and d. Crites. Are a few that make headers. On a mild build frpp or a 80 up. Truck pan will work. For higher power build I recomend a canton. Milodon or one with good baffling. Lol let us know. Plan plan plan. Will save you lots of headache and dissapointment clyde

this is the biggest mistake I see people make. No research or goals. Just slap a motor in because it has bigger displacement and can't figure out why it doesn't run worth a piss

i agree. a few years back i seen a 7.0 or faster 460 mustang that had all the parts to be fast run 8.60s in 1/8 mile and guy got frustrated and parted the entire car out.just a few changes here and there such as degreeing cam dizzy recurve and setting up a proper quench and the proper intake would have made a world of difference.i still here guys put big block down because of that build. that is one of the reasons i have built the engine i have now. it will be a learning experience and eye opener for a few local guys here.

the build would have been planed. that was why i asked here what was all needed for the swap. unfortunately i cant get the motor and transmission, so the cars still for sale unless something comes up. thanks guys for all the information, ill keep it all in mind for the future. but if anyone knows where i can get s decent stock small block to start with id appreciate it.
