What tranny are you talking about? Are you saying the Getrag 5-speed manual is weak? IIRC that was one of the reasons Ford gave for why there would be no MT V8 LS. I would think simple cost effectiveness. FoMoCo knew most people buying an LS wernt going to want to have to shift their own gears for the V8 - simple economics- why produce a model that wont sell?? Also the MTX-75 wasnt supposed to be able to handle the power either - but look at it now - guys punching out over 400 crank HP and our trannies are just fine. I would think that the Getrag should be ok as well as im not looking to put out that much power - at least initially - im looking more into the 300hp range Tea 82 242Ti Proud former owner - Samantha '98 SVT #2253 Reborn Aug 21 2002 Cobra Paradise

And if you look at the typical Lincoln buyer/driver, they do NOT know how to drive a stick. The manual didn't come with traction control. Not too attractive to Lincoln buyers with a V8 pushing them into a ditch/oncoming traffic. -Auto Makor- -Experimentor -Station Wagonor- -Computerizor- I have a foot that is bigger than a foot.
