Yea I was looking for a list if the winners? It's had a few more upgrades since 04

Nice rig. Just windering if the NP205 mounted right to the ZF or if there is an adapter needed? also did you just use the ZF from a 351 to mount up to the 5.0?

thanks.... working on a build my self... and would appreciate the info

 

[Johndeereranger]

The Np203 is mounted straight to the zf 5 speed and there is an adapter between the 203 & 205

In the SAS galleries it has what awards it has won under the thumbnail. Apparently whatever site you had back then has gone down because it is a dead link.
