T-5 Torque Rating
As we all know, the T-5 is one of the most popular mods for vintage mustangs. I myself am looking into doing this upgrade, but I have a feeling that when all is said and done, my engine will produce a high amount of torque. The World Class T-5z which is what Ford used on the '93 cobra has a max rating of 330 ft*lb of torque, which is the highest rating on any of the T-5's.
This is where my question comes into play. I know a built engine can pump out oodles of torque, but in a 65 stang it would take extra effort to put in a tremec 3550 or something like that. I'd rather pay more IF I can to increase the torque limit on the T-5 because of the availibilty of conversion kits and just all around ease. So, is it possible to increase the torque rating on a T-5, and does anyone know of a company that sells/builds these transmissions. Thnx for your help!
