[QUOTE="Carey Frennier, post: 979149, member: 66764"] This will be a very fun vehicle. I'd LOVE to go manual tran in my truck and I would do it in a second if someone came out with a 4.6L 6R80 to manual tran conversion kit. However, as far as buying this 5.0L conversion...I just don't see how it would be more cost effective than a supercharger. The powertrain alone would exceed the full, OTD price of the conversion. The other issue is that it doesn't make as much power. I put down to the rollers what this 5.0 does at the crank. Now...if the 5.0 has forged internals...that is a different story. You go forced induction and get tons of boost. Way beyond what the OEM internal 4.6L 3v can handle. From what I understand, it's a pretty high compression engine so maybe forced induction would not be the best option? I don't know...I just don't see any benifit to this over a supercharger. I have to admit that I'm a little bias though! [/QUOTE]
