my install was different than the your link because the trans mounts are different between the fox chassis and the later mustangs. i kept the stock trans mount and drilled a hole in the center for the rubber mount (which is found on the 1999 Camaro SS). The fox chassis has two brackets on each side both in front of, and behind the trans mount. i simply used the existing rear bracket as my new front bracket, and welded in a new rear bracket with a bit of mild steel plate. with the trans mount situated 4" farther back, all i needed to do was have the driveshaft shortened and rebalanced with a new slip yoke. i also upgraded to larger u-joints so that the driveline would be capable of handling the same torque capacity as the new trans. I know that D&D Performance sells new mounts, a driveshaft, and all the hardware to swap out the trans, but i didn't learn about them until after i bought my trans... because i didn't purchase the trans from them, they wouldn't sell me anything, and were very tight lipped about the whole process, so it was a little trial and error for me. let me know if you have any questions, cause i learned alot and don't mind sharing...

with conversion parts $2650.00

for a TKO it will cost about
Tremec TKO-500 and TKO-600
with SFI bell $2199.00 and up

for some one selling this i suggest that you click on the link and scroll down a bit
