t56 swap to a 94 gt

Well both....and im planning on getting new heads in the future.
you should probally look into a t45 that will save you money and a lot of time. If you go with bob hanlon internals It will last you. I have a broken bob hanlon t45 if interested. for sale on the cheap!
Your recommending him a t45 that you say will last but your trying to sell him a broken one? no offense, just thought that was kinda funny.

cool thanx....i just wanted to make sure that the swap was possible....do you know how much torque does the t56 tolerate?...also i found a cheap t56 on craigslist a few weeks ago for 1500 but sumone else got it, it had 35K on it :/.....cus i jus think that 4g's for a new tranny is not worth it.
700 to 750ft lbs of torque depending on if you got the original t-56 or the magnum
oh i see...what would u recommend a t56 or a t45..cus im planning on gettind trick flow twisted wedge cylinder heads in the future or whatever i can find that best suits my car.
that all depends if you want 5 or 6 gears. I don't know to much about the t-45, my 04 uses the TR-3650. I plan on going with the T-56 when I do my build, with heads being your only major upgrade anytime soon the T-45 should be fine. Like I said though, its money and user preference though.
well yeah u have a point.....hopefully i get my hands on a good deal...cus i think that ddperformance prices r way too high...lol....wut modifications do you have on ur mustang?
D&D may seem high but you have to figure in that your getting everything you need to make the conversion happen. My car is mainly exhaust, tune, and intake. I'm not doing a whole lot now because i plan on either doing a rebuild with forged internals, a set of cams and blower, or buying an aluminator with blower and T-56. i was saving for awhile but decided to recently spend money to have minor touch ups done to bring her back into car show condition!
oh yeah..thats cool...wut do you think i should do on my stang after installing the tranny...evertything is stock except the headers n da h pipes..i got bbk shorties n mac o/r h pipes
ha...well the possibilities are endless depending on your budget! most people start out with cold air intake, pullies, throttle body, gears...etc. If your going to do heads you might as well add cams and a better intake manifold to get the most out of them. thats going to add up real quick though, after that your most likely gonna want to look into dyno and a tune!
IMO spending that much time and money to put a T56 in a stock 94GT is not worth it.Even with heads,cam,exhaust,intake,gears etc etc a GOOD T5 transmission will be good.You can upgrade to the tremec TKO 500/600 and still be way under the cost of the T56 swap.
I did the t-56 swap a few years back and it is one of the best things I've done to the car.
Depending on your miles on the car, I would get a good HCI combo with supporting mods. If that's out of your budget cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, and gears like air_commando88 said.

+1.
I plan on putting the TR-6060 in mine this winter, but I'll actually need it for the power I'll be making.
Again, I think its kinda user preference. Gives you a good platform to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, and if you can handle the finances. also good for any future mods, but yes there are cheaper options.
i`ve done this swap a few time & what it that T-56 out of 1st off cause the vette, craparro/ firebird ones are hydraulic & there`s a few things that have to be changed ( its not worth it BTW )
look out of a 03-04 cobra one or a 00 cobra-R
