Tremec T5, how much torque?
I just had my AOD built up completely, along with the rest of the car. Only a couple more months before i'm out of here (Iraq) and i finally get to drive this car. I don't particuarly care for the idea of the automatic in the car though. But this build started out as a freshening up of a 145K engine and then snowballed into a complete build including the AOD with custom valvebody, bands, clutches, TCI lockup 3500 stall. It's built to handle up to 450-500hp.
That being said.....if a little while down the road i deside a manual is what i really want in the car, i want to know what options i have and how much i'm looking at for everything (flywheel, crossmember, clutch, etc).
I was sniffing around on D&D Performance website checking out their T-5's. Is the Tremec T-5 really only capable of handling 300ftlb. of torque? If so i guess the price was too good to be true. What are my options for a 89lx AOD to manual conversion? I don't need a 6sp. It's going to be a daily driver car. Power output is undetermined at this point. Most of the mods for the car are in my sig. A vortech may find it's way under there eventually. thank you.

a t5 will handle 300 ftlb of torque.. I dont know if you want to go with that if your going to be thinking of putting a supercharger on it though. If you want the t5 heres AMP performance website they sell a whole kit for everything you need to swap a aod to t5 and I mean everything. http://www.ampperformance.com/xcart/home.php?cat=284

t5 Extreme cost
As of right now the t5Extreme is $1995. Stuff made of steel and aluminum has been going up in price, but we are holding the line on pricing as long as we can.
