Keith,

I had the pleasure of destroying a World Class T-5 and it was cheaper to buy a new one rather than rebuilding it. I got it from D&D Performance and it lasted 6 months, just blew up getting on the freeway. The labor is the most expensive part of getting it rebuilt. Unless you know someone that will give you a good deal. I am not even making 300 horse at the tires and this was before I rebuilt the engine. If you are planning on over 300 hp I would spend the money to get a TREMEC 3550. I think I ordered the TREMEC from Downs Ford Motorsport SVO. Their web address is www.downsford.com. Right now in the August issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords they have a TREMEC 3550 with bell housing for $1395.00. I think it was like $1500 with shipping. I will never buy another T-5, any of them. It is worth it and it is stronger. Good luck

Brent
