Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

Is your transmission mounted at a rotated angle to the bellhousing? What's the reasoning?

Nice truck, awesome build!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

It's a Tremec World Class T-5 out of a 92 firebird. It's counter clocked 17 degrees toward the driver and it's got a short throw shifter for quick shifts. It's only rated to handle around 300 lb/ft of torque so it's perfect for my stock small block with a 4 barrel carb. If you're looking to put power down with slicks this is the wrong transmission. It's a good 5 speed with a .63x1 fifth gear ratio for cruising on the freeway. At 75 mph the the engine is just over 2000 rpms. At 85 mph it's still under 2500 rpm.
