I put a T-5 in my 60 C-10 several years ago and have had absolutely no problems with it. However, I have a stock 305, skinny tires, and I drive it like I own it.

T-5s used to blow up with regularity in 305 Camaros and 5.0 Mustangs if they were driven hard. Neither car now offers a T-5 with any kind of V-8. I really don't think a T-5 is a good idea if you have any kind of power at all and plan to thrash it.
