I biggest problem that I am having is that the car is an automatic and I still associate 5.0L mustangs with manual transmissions. I bought a T5Z shortly after I bought the car but it is too clean for me to cut a hole in the floor board for the T5. So I will have to endure the AOD (until I can find a clean 5 spd SSP =) )

I had the same delima when I bought mine. I have always owned 5 speeds and the thought of driving an AOD car just was not appealing. But, since I will not be hot rodding it I grown to love the automatic. Mine was originally white but repainted black when it wasn't used as a DARE car anymore and then used by the drug unit. I am still in the delima of reapinting it white or repainting it black just to keep it's herritage as well and I bought it about a year ago. Just wait a while and think about what you really want to do.
