Swapping a FG into a 1967 Mustang

[barra67mustang]

I bought an N/A FG that will eventually be turbo. Im aiming for 700-1000hp (whatever I feel I want) and was wondering what Manual trans to put behind it. Ive looked at the 6060 and its very expensive. Was wondering if their was anything less expensive that will mate up to the barra (with an adapter) and will hold 700-1000hp. Im hoping to weigh under 3300lbs when its all done. Just looking for options as of now. 

Over in the states we have alot of t5's, CD009, and t56's. any help is appreciated.

I'm no expert but a T56 should be up to the job at 1500kg

The magnum version would be ideal if you can get a decent price over there?

I dont know much but arent stock t56s rated at like 450ft lbs and if so how can they handle 1000hp then. mostly they brake at 600-700hp

you can build a T56 up with a decent gearset, which is basically what the "magnum" version is (which the TR6060 is very similar to)

to hold the power I want?

the clutch will be your weak point, not the geartrain.

Well ill probably upgrade to like a 3 puck dual disk clutch or something

sounds like a good plan use this thread as your build thread if you want or create another one when you get this project going

 

[barra67mustang]

Ill probably create another one. It will look like this when finished

oh, I hope so
