Transmission Question?

[TurboXstang]

It's not a mustang, but a fox bodied car. I've got a 1985 TurboCoupe thunderbird that had a minor engine bay fire. I've dicided that i'm going too put my 429 CobraJet big block in it. I was wondering how well a freshly rebuilt World Class T5 would hold up behind it? The motors a mildly built motor. I want too have Overdrive in it if i can. I'd consider an auto ij it, but what Overdrive trans are ther3e for a big block? Thanks for any info.

a stock 302 can wreck a WC T-5 I would get somethin a bit more beefy for a cobrajet

Hmm , a T-5 might hold up if you baby it , no racing or powershifting .

A TKO or G-force may be better for a torquey motor .

Look here : http://www.moderndriveline.com/Technical_Bits/transmission_spec.htm

looks like a T-5 will only hold up to 300 ftlbs torque .
