I had an FMX auto transmission, I ordered a C6 with a 2400-2600 nitrous stall it locks and gives you take off like a stick shift, The C6 and stall from TCI was 1901.00 The cam calls for 3.73 gears, I am going to do that for 149. Engine HP is 475hp (470) 502ft/tq on build up, With nitrous 570hp 625tq. The Torino weighs 5200 loaded, running the strip 4300 12.04 @ 109-111 Its a cheap build, and ALOT of sound and show off power with out the nitrous, trust me I am in college too. Put some dynoflow bullets mufflers on, with electric dumps right after the headers, with the dumps you can push a button and have it straight pipped and loud as ****!! Then if someone comes to yell at you for it, you flip the switch and make it quieter ( the dynoflow is a mean sounding exhaust, but low enough to be legal) I hope this helps some, once again mine is a 351c 2v ( i put a 4b carb, the new intake for the 2v has a 4barrle carb hole to run the bigger carb.)
I saw your 351c build... I rebuilt my Gran Torino Sport with nirtous it runs 570hp 625tq...
