The reason I asked about a T5 because there is a camaro T5 for sale locally. I just didn't know what kind of hp or torque that trans could withstand. I attended the local county fair yesterday and met a guy who has a 10 bolt pontiac GTO posi with 3.31. I think that is the route I will take for the rear. I have searched your site and found differential widths and narrowed my search from there. This site has a great wealth of information and I'm using the search alot
. I inquired about manual trans because my wife likes the original look of the manual on the floor. I suspect I still may end up keeping my T400 (with 2800 stall), but it is nice to explore other options. My intention is not to beat my truck to death, but because of the time, money and effort I put into the last SBC I'll ever build (If it goes, it's cheaper to buy a BBC crate) this engine will eventually find its way in to my truck (I couldn't bear to let an engine like that go when I sold my 70 chevelle, no one would appreciate that engine until he/she opened the bottom up to reveal a 4340 cola crank). My truck is nice running vehicle with some nice ammenities and I have plenty of time to pick the appropriate drivetrain for it. My intention is to gather information from the experts on this board so this project will turn out well and your board has been a lot of help.
