Tremec Swap

FASTBACK340 said

Am I confusing transmissions? Isn't the T5 a TREMEC? And which transmission should I be looking for? If not the TREMEC, what AM I looking for? I know it's not going to be an afternoon bolt-in, but like I said, I just want to know what to keep my eyes open for. I run across, shall we say..... "All types" of people. It would be great to be in the right place, at right time, and score a trans.

And if I can use stock clutch linkage (especially after fighting with those bastard TTI's....) I'd be extremely happy. Can this happen? :-D

The T5 is a Borg Warner trans that Ford used for many years. From what I`ve read and heard, the T5 won`t hold up to a lot of HP and speed shifting. I`ve heard good things about the Richmond trans but they`re more of a racing trans and much harder to find. If you go with a Tremec, pick at least the TKO-500, it should hold up to your smallblock.
