    5.0, 5.8 would be alot easier. I figured after my supercoupe blows up is to stroke out a 351 and drop in it since i'm redoing the car and i might as well keep it. Let me know on the engine i'm always looking for parts.

      I was able to speak with him shortly on the engine stuff and he wanted know if you were interested in the tranny too. He is not sure if the S/C is still good cause he has not run the car for a period of time I'm not sure how long it's been. He also said he does not want to pull it out till it warms up cause I will make him do it out side I don't have in my garage for his car yet.

        if it were me i'd go with a 5.0 ho and the supercoupe m5r2 tranny, as this will bolt right up and has been done many times before, whereas a mod motor would better be suited to a '94 and up chassis. Thats not to say it can't be done, but just the easiest and cheapest route that gets the best bang for the buck

          That seems like the easiest and cheapest route to me also thanks for the advise. now I just gotta get my little bro to figure out exactly what he is going yo do. What does that m5r2 tranny come out of?

            Supercoupe Tbird through 95. Tell him to sign up on TCCOA.com if he's not already a member (I'm on there as the same screen name). Heres a link to a thread that should help him to get an idea of whats needed: http://forums.tccoa.com/showthread.php?t=103398

            also, look for trannys on car-part.com, they usually seem to have a couple on there from what i've seen
