from what people told me, the gears are different in the 4cyl tranny...you can use it on a 5.0 but its not as strong so I wouldnt reccommend using it on a 5.0 if thats what youre planning on doing!!

4 cylinder trannys are very different from the V8 tranny. They are a lot weaker. I would not recommend using a 4 cylinder tranny in a V8.
