I don't get over here on the Roadster side of the forum often, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I've got a customer looking to build a roadster with around 300hp and auto trans. Been busy building GTM's for the past 7 years, so haven't kept up on the Ford stuff....even though I much prefer it over the GM....
Anyway, I'm assuming that the modern auto transmissions are controlled via the engine ECU? Does anyone sell complete crate engine/auto trans combos with harness and ECU that could be dropped into a Roadster? Not looking to go crazy on hp.....as I said, he's just looking for a Sunday cruiser with around 300hp. He would prefer newer tech as opposed to going with something like an old 5.0. He's also looking to install a soft-top and AC. Is the FFR soft top the way to go, or is there a better choice? Anyone doing A/C? If so, where is the best source to get the parts to do this?
Thanks for any help you can give me!
