Ok i have a 79 bronco. I am swapping in a 1970 ford thunderbird 429. It is going to mostly be for mud and some trails. The motor is all stock for now. But in the future want to build it up a little. I have 4.10s and running 36s. i was just seeing if any one knew if the t-bird converter or the bronco one would be best to use. Oh the bronco had the 351m. Thanks for any help.

For mud the stock bronco would be the best it has a higher stall. One is 1200 and the other is 1800.
