I have a 93 thuderbird that I would love to slam a 460 into. would a 3.8 trans housing bolt right up to the 460.
A 3.8 will not bolt up to a 429/460 ,the only trans that will bolt up directly are a c6 or a manual built to bolt to the 385 series engine group. The 460 can be built to be a torque monster . Just do search's on this site and/or the web,there is a wealth of info out there for these motors.
Good Luck!!
