Could this transmission handle a gm 350? Tremec.com says it has a 300 ftlb torque rating. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 | It should handle it. All tremec 5 speeds have the same rating. My brothers mustang has 400lb/ft and a stock t5. Hasn't broke yet and he beats the hell out of it.

I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

But unless you have done quite a bit to get power to the pavement or put a load of dirt in it, I wouldn't think a T5 would be a problem either. Check them out at SummitRacing.com

I just want something to dive when I want where I want. I'm not racing or hauling. Just driving a truck I can be proud of.

I drive it normally. There is also a TKO500 that is real stout & has various locations for the shifter.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Looks like the 600 has the various locations too and the gearing I like. Thanks. | | |
