best torque convertor stall for stock engine?

[Rick 91GT]

I would not go to the Eaton unless you upgrade the axles, sounds like a stock clutch rebuild diff, and maybe a F-150 center spring is perfect for you.

So what does everybody think? For normal street use, rebuild kit ($43) plus labor, Ford Racing, or Eaton? Also, what about just a stock replacement?
Thanks,

For street use, the rebuild kit would be perfect. An Eaton or anything else like that would be pure overkill.

That's what I did - $60 for the do-it-yourself guys.

great- thanks for the input!! now, what's this about an F150 center spring???

That truck spring gives more tension than the stock 5.0 spring - it's the spring in between the clutch packs - you'll see. I've seen guys comment about how hard it was to get in there with some saying they couldn't - just a heads up.

how would I get my hands on it - just through Ford or would any napa or autozone be able to get it?
thanks
