I'm debating the Trick flow top end kit which will produce approx 350HP according to TF.
I need a transmission.
I have two options
1985 WC T-5 275 ft-lbs w/49K miles on it
or a partially rebuilt 1990 T-5 300 ft-lbs. It's missing the countergear and input shaft so i would need to order those.
I'm debating just ordering the Z-spec kit for under $400 and just using that. It's rated for 330 ft-lbs or torque, but will it hold up to a 350HP engine??
I don't really plan on drag racing the car. It's more or less a cruiser, but i will get on it here and there.
Or, i could do the g-force kit, buy the components myself and do the install myself. But it's $1100 for the gearset alone. Reason i don't want to go g-force is that i could use that money for a t-56.
If i run any other trans, it will be a T-56. But for obvious cost reasons, i can't do that quite yet while i'm working on an engine combo. Maybe in a year or so i can finally consider it. I want a t-56 just for the sake of saying i have 6 gears and its one beefy trans.
