Ford T-5 tranny and bell housing

Anybody have any idea how much horse power the t-5 in stock form will handle? Looking at a t-5 out of a 85 T-bird turbo coupe so I need to also find a bell housing to get it to my 351W, any ideas or places to look? Just need some help to get this setup put together so i can get started on my build. Are there any considerations to look at as far as flywheel/clutch set up, clutch ***embly from the pedal to the fork I need to be aware of?

 

Out of a Turbo Coupe I would think its a World Cl*** T5, so it'll probably hold up to 400hp.... Try this link... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169265

 

It won't fit.

The T5 out of a Turbo Coupe has a much longer input shaft than out of a V8. And if it's an early Turbo Coupe, it's not as strong as the later V8 ones anyway.

A late model Mustang T5 will handle a 351W if not horribly abused (side-stepped clutch, etc). Use a bellhousing from an 83-93 Mustang and a T5 from an 89-93 Mustang to get the best stuff.

 

THANKS for the awesome info its gonna take me a day or two to piece through all that!!!

 

I have a stock T-5 behind my Blower engine, cracked 3 blocks so far and still have the same T-5.....

 

Sweet!!
