Tremec 3550 trans upgrade worth it

[riche]

I am thinking on swapping out the aod from my 93 yellow feature car and going with a tremec 3550. A good friend is upgrading and will sell me everything installed for $1400.

Question is are these trans a good upgrade for a foxbody. Figure it's better than a t5

That's a fair price. They are much, much stronger than the T-5, but they don't shift nearly as nice. They are a lot more "notchy". Good upgrade over an AOD though. I had one back in the day, and I have one in my 90 LX cruiser right now.

cool. And he will do all the work. Anything will be better than the AOD

$1400 installed sounds like a damn nice deal to me.

I liked mine years ago when I had one.

It looks like that, except it sits a bit lower now. We did it old school, "period correct". 4 lug drag lights, flow masters, tremec, mega-bite sr. rear suspension, etc.

Looks like fun, I'll be looking for something similar for my oldest soon.

Drag lites are made for fox bodies. Love them. Where do you find the clean foxes? I looked for one before I bought my Z28 but most of them were beat pretty badly.
