I have a 408 stroker in my 68 mustang I want to put a stick in it. Can I build a t5 TO HANDLE tha power without breaking it I just got a tranny for 100 but it needs to be rebuilt I guess I'm asking is it worth rebuilding for that kinda power

does your 408 stroker make 250rwhp?
then sure a t5 will be fine.

+1 a stock T5 will NOT hold up to a 408w, maybe a Astro T5/G-force T5.....but if it was me, I would go with a TKO 600 behind that 408w
edit - before someone recommends a t56 and its variants....T56 = heavy (125+ dry). its huge and major modifications will be necessary to clear the trans tunnel.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

TKO 600 ftw, or else you'll be replacing your trans every oil change ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Actually, the Astro T5 would be a good choice for that application however I would not trust it over 500 rwhp. At that point the case becomes suspect.
