Guest Tom Simpson Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Will either of these work with my 350 Chebby? I have a turbo 350 right now and it sucks on the freeway. Isnt the only difference the bellhousing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Tom, I am contemplating the same thing before I buy and believe that in addition to what you mentioned, the input shafts and output shafts are different. IMO the Ford seems to be a bit stronger than the Chevy, but you have to have it modified to fit. It was either Dark Horse Performance or Forte's that did the mods on Pete's tranny--look on his website and you'll find your answer. To me it comes down to a question of cost. After putting money into a Ford tranny, would I have been better off buying a T56???? Good luck. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Guys, I have a Tremec TR-3550 5spd. It's stronger than a WC T-5 from the get go, mostly due to wider gears. The shaft spacing is identical or close to it. It came in the 1995 Cobra R Mustang, and is available as a replacement for the T-5 in the Mustang. It shares now design details of the T-5 that I'm aware of. Darkhorse Performance and Forte's are two places that take the Ford form-factor TR-3550 (or the stronger TKO brother) and convert them for use in a GM situation. The details of what I think Darkhorse does to modify it are on my site. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
