I'm lookin' for an M5R2 tranny to convert my AOD LX to a 5-speed. However, I need for it to be able to handle 500 hp. So far I've been told the M5R2's I found on ebay (for Ford trucks) are no good. So where can I get one?

Look for someone parting out an SC. The F150 boxes are nearlyu the same internally, but the case is different making it very difficult to use ina T-bird.

As far as a built M5R2, there are really no upgrades that I am aware of, except for the F150 synchronizzer thing, but I wouldn't waste any time or money with that, you wouldn't want it to shift like a truck would you?

I think a stock SC trans can handle youir HP goal. As everyone likes to point out, Ted Lyons uses one in his blown 347CI SC that he races in One Lap of America..
