What is considered being "Hard" on a T-5?
Ok, so I want a 351w... eventually. And I want to do a 5-speed swap and I chose a T-5 Because they are relatively easy to find in salvage yards... and I don't feel like paying 2k for a TKO or a T-56 and then another like 1000 for the parts the tranny doesn't come with.
I've read where people have gone years with a t-5 behind a mildly built 351w... What I'm wondering is, what is besides the obvious, considered no-nos with this set up?
Speed shifting?
Squeeling tires?
Dumping the clutch *Kind of a givin*
Besides Dumping the clutch, because that's just a 'well duh' thing, what are things to watch out for that would blow a T-5 behind a 351w?
*I know this swap will be way down the road, I just like to know info in advance*
Thanks!
