5 speed swap

You guys in the forum tell me the Mazda 5 speed is a weak trans. I plan on supercharging my 302 This winter .Between 33X12.50"s and extra ponies sounds like mazda wont cut it.Any suggestions? Mustang/tremic internals or maybe something from advanced adapters?

You want the ZF 5-speed for the 302. That will handle all the HP you can throw at it. First gear is granny low for crawling and fifth is overdrive for highways. It will bolt right up in place of your mazda.

$800-1400 for a good used one IF you can find one, but it's the only thing that will do what you want.
