Call Darrin at BC-automotive.com. He did an article in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords on converting my Bullitt from a 5sp to a 4R70W about a year ago. Lopped off almost .7 from my ET with that conversion. Since then I've installed a 4V and with the shifter in "Drive" and with the EEC completely controlling the shifting and lockup, the car is now running 9s with just under 700RWHP. The original poster used a Lentech tranny with an Open converter. You can go with a lock-up converter with Darrin's conversion which makes the car MUCH more streetable and has a huge advantage at the track too on the big end. Mine's trapping 139mph currently. Open converters soak-up HP. I started a thread with my recent escapades with the 4V with some additional details on the car here...
