Alright guys so I am pretty much dead set on putting a 351 Windsor motor in my 69 Fastback, I still have some time seeing as I am still in the process of stripping/repairing/removing rust from the Unibody.... but I do want to know what to look for... I am going to try and pick up a used 351W off craigslist... have it rebuilt/etc and ready to go (Does the year matter?). Now what I need to know is... what is a good trannsmission for this? C-6? TKO-600? I don't mind stick or auto... I just want something solid/reliable for what I intend to do with the car... so onto what I intend to do with the car... basically.. a little bit of everything.. take it to the track and occasionally the 1/4 Mile, drive it to work here and there, etc... I currently drive a 2008 GT "Bullitt" Edition and I wouldn't mind having that same kinda 5 Manual Tranny in my 1969 but from what I have read.. thats not exactly cost effective... so however close I can get to that...
Also (had to break that wall of text).. What Rear End/Axle/Diff should I get? From what I have read a 9 Inch is the way to go... how/where is the best way to get one of these if that IS the best way for me to go?
And lastly.. what should I do about a driveshaft? Depending on my Tranny/Rear End combo?
Thanks for any help you can give.
