As I said before, I've had both transmissions. I had 2 T-5s: one of the "puny" ones in an 83 Camaro V6 and one of the "V8" models in an 83 Z-28. The LG4 (standard performance 305) in the Z-28 was more than the T-5 could stand. The mainshaft bearings were toast and it made noises like cement mixer in neutral.
I also had a 1983 z28 with a T-5, and those HO305's only put out 195 hp. Its sad that the transmission did not hold up well to such a weak engine.
