    Thanks guys for the advice, I have solved these problems.

    Dave, I hear you about the T56 or TKO 5 speeds, but I really want this 46 to be somewthing of a nostalgia kind of thing. If I go waaaaaay back and remember my first stick car that I actually owned. It was right after I returned from Nam it was a used 1964 GTO with a 4 speed. I managed to complettly destroy the motor in that old goat in about 6 weeks just racing from one red light to the next. San Diego was never the same again. It was a four speed car and I remember like it was yesterday that 4 speed.

    I was able to get all of the parts I needed for this changeover from ONE guy and even made a new friend in the process. Mike Forte a poster here was helpful and steered me through the mine field. While I have bought two transmissions already a Muncie M20 and a Borg Warner T 10 Mike even had another T 10 at such a good price I bought it as well, so now I am 4 speed poor. but thats cool i also got another car and have decided to go 4 speed in it as well.

    Anyone needed transmission stuff or really anything to do with Hot Rods give this guy a chance, good prices and he drives what he builds. And Dave he is a Big Ford Motorsport dealer, his got an all aluminum FE427 engine in his shop that may be hard to pass up, pricy but it sure sounds interesting.
