I am wanting to know if I could use a modern transmission for a 302 in my 1986 Ford LTD Crown Victoria? I paid $1000 for this car and it just rolled over 84k miles. It was not garage kept so have to repaint the exterior the person I bought it from was trying to make a hot rod out of it. He didn't have it long as he did not know why it drove so slow and stuttered when you try to put your foot in the floor. I found the problem to be an ICM, I replaced it and it drives like a dream. When I bought it I had to put on the exhaust from the headers back, and he put in a Spectre air filter system. So, to say, my car is not all original so I want to modernize it if I can. Thus, needing to know if a modern transmission for a 302 will work in my car?
