what the heck you flaming me for?? its been proven a t-5 can handle some serious power, if you asking me this cause it wont fit the engine, then thats a different story. im not sure if it would fit, so if it doesnt and it wont work for his application, then excuse my retardedness and move on and i have learned something. but dont ask me if im on drugs because of it handling power. i know you know your stuff, but you could atleast have just told me politely i was wrong.
If you think that was a flame you haven't been around here
(or many other places) much.
A "Flame" is when I call you names, comment on my beliefs about your ancestry, dietary habits or sexual practices or likely some highly
imaginitive combination of all three with additional scatalogical garnishes.
You need to understand that the T5 is good for mabey 350ft/lb in
an engine with a relatively lightweight rotating assembly
(it isn't only force but mass) behind a 351/400M engine
with nearly twice the rotating mass? it would be like
depending on a screen door to keep a Brown bear outside your cabin.
Torque, rotating mass, resistance against that force (weight and/or traction) are the three factors that break things.
a Built up 5.0 making truely rediculous power still actually makes
about the same torque as a stock 5.0, it's just doing it at a
much higher rpm...
BTW, show me anyone with a home built race car and I'll show
you someone that exaggerates their power... often by pure
imagination.
"power" is a nearly irrelevant abstract, but ask anyone who is REALLY
"making power" and they either have several prepped spares OR they are running something else. OR they are running a T-5 case with a collection
of internal parts made FAR from any Borg-Warner plant
You CAN build a T-5 using only a borg-warner case
Kinda like ou can build a Small block chevy without
using a single genuine GM part.
So, quite often that "T-5 handling some serious power" really
isn't a T-5 at all It's a strong aftermarket trans built into a
T-5 case to fool an inspector from a racing sanctioning body....
The T-5 has an undeserved reputation in some circles.
This "circle" is not one of them.... or should I say that in THIS circle
it has a somewhat different reptation than you are familiar with...
that and mating a T-5 to a 351M woud be difficult at best
even ignoring that the original poster wanted to put it in a 4x4.
Did I "flame" you? I certainly don't think so
because to "flame" someone presumes I'm angry or
otherwise emotionally involved in the discussion....
a false presumption to say the least...
But I can easily be rude and/or condescending without getting into
the same country with "emotionally involved"
Stick around, but grow thicker skin.

Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
i get the point lol, is there a reason you choose the c6auto instead of a manual? i know the c6 isnt a manual but im not really on the up and up on transmissions and which is the best for every application.
lol
except im not sure what the benifit of a reverse pattern valvebody would be care to explain your reasoning for this sorry if it is a noob question. i know what the trans brake is for it locks you in 1st and reverse and the same time then when you disengauge it you can get off the line faster then just power braking right? do you race that thing or somthing?
also ment to ask you this where do you fill that up at? do they just hook up your truck tank or do you take the tank to get filled?
