  • Carcraft May 2008:
    Carcraft editors added a T5 to their 67 Mustang as part of a complete engine swap.  "In addition to stepping up to a strong small-block, we didn't want to wimp out with an automatic.  But to keep a reign on the budget, we decided to go with a more common World Class T5 trans rather than the pricey Tremec TKO 500 or 600 transmissions."  >>>More.
  • Swing Shift - FORD MUSCLE
    Ford Muscle editor Shirag Asaravala follows along with Modern Driveline as they rebuild his T5 transmission with a G-Force gearset upgrade. The revived World Class T5 will be capable of handling 600 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque as a result of the upgrades.  >>>More.
