I can finally beat up on my 347 with out fearing the fury of t5 gods.
I installed my 3550 this week. Nice and stout transmission. I like it.

The 3550 comes in .68 or .82 overdrive ratio...
They can handle a beating much better then a T-5

I sold the t5 to my friend.

The Tremec 3550 is rated for higher tq than a t5.

I certainly wouldnt have bought the t-5 if it were behind that 347 for very long

I didnt beat on it with the t5 because I know how eaisly they break. I broke the t5 in my 66 resto mod. So I babied this one untill I could get the tremec. Now its getting a beating. it looks like thiss when I beat it

That is what its rated for but I have seen and personally know some people running 500-600 ft/lbs through them with no problems at all. You'll love it.
