I am a bit puzzled hearing that the T 10 would just barely take the torque of a 271 HP 289. I bought a 65 Mustang K code, with a toploader, new off the lot and that engine never seemed very torquey to me. I remember seeing a 62 Chevy Impala 409/409 right off the showroom floor at the strip and you could see daylight under the front wheels after the flag dropped. How in the heck did the T 10 take that kind of torque? The car came back week after week, and beat everything.
