4 cyl mustang

Ron, no I haven't weighed this one yet. My '89 Notch with an aluminum head 347,c6 and with full interior and most street equipment, but with a fuel cell, weighs 2950 with a 200# driver. The 4 banger hatch has about the same equipment in it as yours except it has a sunroof. I've found all the c4 stuff for the car, but the a4ld isn't a bad trans. Maybe Yacavone could do a converter for one of these. Little history lesson on the a4ld. It was created from the c3, bad you say, became the a4ld with one od unit tagged on front, then it got put behind the 4.0 in explores and got a whole lot of hd parts and roller bearings/thrust washers still junk you say. Guess whats in the '05 and up mustangs? The next generation a4ld or whatever alphabet they're hiding the c3 under with one more od unit to make the 5 speed. At less than 100 horse power I don't think you can get a hatch back light enough, but it would be fun to try.
BTW the explorer trans is an electronic version and Bauman makes a controller to shift it I believe.
