meh, i have 96000 miles on mine and all syncro's are original. They're all fine, except 4th gear, but that's my fault. I also had ford check it out when the trans was torn apart for the new clutch/flywheel...and they said all the syncro's were fine. Even 4th gear, so I really dunno why it grinds when shifting fast.

define weak. For stock application there's no problem with it. The only people who have had to upgrade are people who went FI. How can you consider something it was never designed to handle a weakness???

What?? That's not even in the powerband of the engine. If that were true alot more engines would have blown up by now. I can't think of anyone who keeps their contour UNDER 2500rpm...except maybe roger r   Make it higher than 5k, and for extended periods of time.
Just run the 6.5 qts and don't worry about it. The odds are in your favor that it will be fine.
