OzHemi has one in his OzCharger and it fit pretty well. Still reqired some trimming to the trans x-member, but it looks like it turned out well. I wouldn't hesitate to use one in my Valiant - 300 real HP (260 at the rear wheels), and 3600#. For swapping, I'd look at the 1999+ units, as they have the longest input shafts, and most are rated at ~300 lb-ft. IMHO, they're a great transmission, and there are only a lot of failure stories because there are SOOOO MANY of them out there. How many Mustangs lead an easy life?
