The only thing I would watch for is there are a lot of T5s out there for sale and most of them are coming out of cars targeted automatics for the next episode of Pinks all out. I just purchased a T5 with new gears "one drag race" and 5000 street miles that only 1st gear is undamaged. I was warned by a rebuilder who said most of the T5s he gets have been trashed. Luckily the seller is being cool and taking it back. watch for a post on T5 and hp which should be interesting. I have a big-block toploader in my 66 with a 351w pulling 400 and 400 (custom input shaft). TOtally bulletproof but even with 3:50 gears in the rear end, a long trip (which they all are) to an autocross or club track event gets old quick with flowmasters. I am moving to an overdrive for sanity purposes - go there...
