Sweet setup. Anyone know about reliability on the mustang auto's? If they are anyting like any other auto ford made in the early 90's, expect it to stop working somewhere around 100,000 miles.

good call you must be the expert.

my chassis has ~160k on it.

the trans has about 70k, it was taken out to be "upgraded"

its taken tons of abuse at 5-8psi and some people have been running them 9-10psi running 11s and such with them.

good amount of power + od = does not mix.

but they are not glass by any means.

what going to go wrong with them is when you have some power, slipping clutches, busting OD...

its not going to pop like a honda trans though

I can take his mustang if I shift down to 3rd

Sometimes I swear, yall make such stupid, un-founded statements on here. A stock to mildy modified 5.0 AOD will run long as the motor (and 5.0's are reliable beyond belief, especially to be so low tech). Ford didn't build the tranny to sit behind a 500 HP motor, so if it breaks behind such a motor, damn go figure
Don't believe me though, I know nothing about them

It's all hear-say Thats where most people get their opinions made up in their minds..
