The Mustang runs a C-4 automatic transmission with a Boss Hog converter and B+M components. The rear differential is an owner built 9" with 3.89:1 gears on a mini-spool. John also performed a front disc brake conversion and rebuilt the entire suspension. Power to the ground is through BF Goodrich drag radials. The combination makes for a very streetable, quick, and consistent bracket car.
