This why the T5-conversion does well in all but the most hopped up b230FT's. The torque of a B230F or even a B230FT is comparatively low compared to a V8. T5's regularly chunk themselves behind even stock Ford 5.0's (302) and other V8's in LeMons. Behind a B230FT (stock'ish) they last forever.

What I am trying to say is if you REALLY want to future-proof your B230F with M47 car, get a T5 conversion set. T5's LITTER the salvage yards where M47's are rare...and M47's in good shape are very rare. The M47 was not a terrible transmission but I feel it is not up to the longevity of the motor and chassis it is placed in.
