best stock trans to swap into the mark?

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the actual manual lever can stay with the trans, just you have to swap over the sensor so you have the same type that originally came with the car.

As for the torque converter, don't use the GT unit. The 2V motors have more low-end torque and not as much high end compared to the 4V ones, so anything with the 4V motor gets a higher stall torque converter than the 2V motors do. In fact people with the 2V motors will swap their TC out for one from a mark, marauder, or mach1 to get the higher stall speed. If you use the mustang GT converter, your car will be a dog off the line. If you aren't having any problems with the one in your car, re-use that. If that one is messing up, get another converter out of another mark, marauder, or mach1.

Arn't the mustang and mark both 11.25? i read also they have the same K factor or whatever that means on tccoa

K factor is another term for the stall.

the jerry w. write up on tccoa says that they have the same diameter and stall speed.... so i don't think thats the case.

what you're saying makes sense though because the marks do rev higher than a mustang gt, i'm taking that into consideration... but go to the middle of this link and youll see the mark and mustang gt are both listed at the same inch and stall speed.

I never knew that. I always thought all the 2V 4.6s got the 12" converter. I guess as long as it is an 11" converter, feel free to use that one.

well mustang 2v's get the 11 inch converter i dont know about other 4.6 2v's in various other models... but im happy that i can use it because it has way less miles than my mark
