    changing a 1967 3-speed to a 4-speed

    I still have 4 Mustangs. The 2017 'Vert has about 10K miles on it now and the wife wants to keep that one for road trips. The '84 T-Roof will probably go up for sale this spring.

    Newbie looking for budget 5.0 and suspension advice

    Ford still makes all 3 roller cams that were so popular back in the 5.0's days of glory. My own 5.0 has an Isky roller cam that's a little hotter than the stock 5.0 HO camshaft that has a ton of torque.

    changing a 1967 3-speed to a 4-speed

    Unless you install an overdrive it won't be any different, because the 3 and 4 speeds are direct. The car may have a low rear axle ratio.

    Top loaders and OD

    Ford made a transmission in 77-78 that externally looks just like a top-loader but is actually a 3 speed with its 4th gear being an OD. I wonder if that would work? If so, here are some tag numbers: RUG BP RUG CA RUG CD RUG CL
