[QUOTE="03SVTF, post: 6231300, member: 27651"] I only got to drive it about 40 miles but felt like I had more than sufficient power going up hills. 1-2-3 pull very hard throughout the rpm's and it seems to have more balls above 2500. This was a project but it was definately worth it. The clutch/fly I got ran me around 900 and the Torsen is like 700. I did this in the shop where I work with access to the proper engine hangers, trans lift, hydraulic press, seal drivers, and shop air which I would not attempt without. The Ford service book calls for you to drop the subframe but I saw that as unnecessary. I left it in and except for making the starter bolts and rear bell-housing bolts a little extra tricky it wasn't much of an inconvenience. However, I don't think you could leave the subframe in without the right lift to get the trans up and over the subframe where it covers the rear control arm bushing. This required rolling the trans into place somewhat. This definately is not that bad of a project but I wouldn't even dream of doing this without a real lift and tools readily accessible. [/QUOTE]
