    SRod Tranny compatability and condition check

    Okeydoke, I'm getting the Ford Racing 5.0 listed HERE and I have an SRod sitting in my barn from an early 80's Capri with a 5.0. Will it probably just bolt up fine and dandy or is there anything I need to check? Also, this Capri was beat pretty hard. The engine was pretty much shot...
