fxbill - England is littered with broken T5's which were fitted behind 351's and larger engines.

Don't fall for the "it's a light car so the rear wheels will break traction before the gearbox breaks" line. Just think about full throttle in 3rd or 4th - gearbox sees ALL of the engine torque without the rears lighting up.

Tremec TKOII has the 0.8 ish 5th gear you want.
