So as I was working on my suspention today It got me wondering. I have an extra T-5 I got when My buddie sold me one for my 73 cougar T-5 swap. I left the other alone to see If I should rebuild and install the rebuilt one in my cougar. The cougar has a 351c and has over 300HP and torque and the T-5 is still running fine. I did have to replae the shifter to be able to use the stops so I dont end the shift forks. Both trannys were completes with bellhousing and rubber mountand shifter. So my question is I know the T-5 can handle well over its rating value(there is a guy running a BB torino with close to 500ft of torque and more horsepower than the mustang gts could dream. What modifications need to be made to get this to bolt up and go? Crossmember, driveshaft, shifter location,bellhousing/block plate. what the imbalance on this 3.8 32oz or 50 oz.? and what size flywheel? I got an extra 32oz 157t billet flywheel.
