Don't hold me up to this but I'm not sure you can put either tranny behind a cleaveland without some fabrication. That particular type is for the windsor family. I don't like either type but if you did manage to mount it behind a C motor I'd go with the TKO. Beter safe than sorry. I've driven both types of transmission one on an older mustang and another on an 88' and they both were tempermental while shifting. Unless you drove in race mode. Which is good if it's a strip car only but I personally like the weaker T-5 for moderate HP/TQ numbers and daily driving.
