You might want to consider a Tremec 5spd instead.  What HP is your engine
putting out?  Five liter guys regularly dump the T-5 in favor of the World
Class T-5 or a Tremec.  The WC T- is better, but I forget by how much, not a
huge amount.  I think it's pretty easy to toast a standard T-5 with just a
small block as the Ford trans doesn't have a very high torque rating, like
300ft/lbs or something.
