Does this engine have any problems. I posted a link at the bottom. Will it fit(it is a 302 Cid). Does anyone know a tranny that pairs with this motor, I wanted a T56(I will post a link bellow). I would like to get a 6 speed manual. Anyone know what the gear set would be? I was thinking about a 4:10 or 3:73 but was not sure. I am a few months out from pulling the trigger, anyone who has build one please post pics, I need some ideas.
On another note, Is it possible to put power windows on or roll up windows on it. (i know it will ruin the authenticity of it, but I need them to open)

Hi they use tko 500 mid shift and would go with 3:73 for the rear gear..

I am currently building a coyote competition coupe. Check out the thread in the 65 coupe section. It will give you a good idea of some of the fitment issues. There are a few, but all manageable. I am using a TKO 600 R trans and Moser 3 link rear with 3:31 gears. Experience with both the 3 link and IRS on track has shown the 3 link to be vastly more robust and reliable. Lots of breakage problems with the IRS on Karen Salvaggio's endurance coupe. Hope this helps.
