I am looking to swap a T5 into my Stingray and have now complied a list of possible swaps. Does anyone know where I could obtain the torq rating on each of these tranny's to reduce the list a little more?

Thank you

I'll make this easy, NWC = 300 ft-lbs, WC = 320 ft-lbs

Why not just go with a T-56 if you can afford it?

 

NWC = 300 & WC= 320 is true for every tranny? this seems just to simple and good to be true..

I wish I could afford a T56 but I just cannot

I can get a T5 and rebuild it for 275-325us$.
I cannot seem to find a T56 for anything less than $800-1200

if anyone has ever bolted up a T5 to an LT1 I believe if I remember correctly that it mount 18degrees counter clock wise?

a> is this true and
b> what bellhousing , or plate should I use to turn it back to the top.

 

These things have torque ratings??

 

A> Yes
B> it has to stay turned to fit our cars so leave it that way.

I'll add this one.
C> if you can find a T-56 for $800 buy it, every one I find is $1600 or more so I'm going Tremec 3550. I can get a brand new one for $1675 and not have to get a new flywheel or have half the T-56 conversion hassles
