Depends which Ford top-loader you mean. The t-5 may be one but so is the 4 speed
they used on their big-blocks (390-428-460 etc.) also and it's not the same
tranny. :)

If you do use Midas, don't allow them to
weld anything together - they use cheap
off-shore high acid content metal - the
welds will rot within two years.

Bring any NOS style hangers with you
unless you like sheet metal screws being
railed thru your floors.

I had them install on my 1989 Honda 
Civic Si.  Two years later the entire
system was junk.

They wouldn't honor the Lifetime 
coverage on the muffler unless they
installed another exhaust system -
again - at the same price as the 
initial install.

Getting 'Midasized' brought a whole
new meaning to the experience.

If you have head pipes, can't you just stick cheap mufflers on it and
drive over? Also, they should be able to bend the pipes up for you if 

the
truck is pretty much stock. The Midas by me had no problem bending up 
a
pipe for my 68 American.

i've always thought of 'toploader' as referring to the ford t&c 4sp,
though many other trannies are also top loaders.

nascar uses jericos on road courses.  i don't think any t5-based
tranny would stand 800+hp no matter what you did to beef it.

btw the ford toploaders all had model series in the 170s; the tremec
t176/177/178 4sp in early-'80s jeeps are toploaders.  also in the
family was a hd 3sp t160 and a regular-duty 3sp t150.  sound familiar?

that's their dirty little secret - the lifetime warrantee is
-only-on-the-muffler-.  nothing else.
