advantages of different trannies? April 18, 2006, 05:07:17 PM i was wondering what the advantage if there would be one of puting a c6 in my cougar? and i know its been answered a million times, but whats the difference between a t5 for a 302 and turbo coupe? cus i can get one from a turbo coupe, but i have a 302 and heard its not worht it due to gear ratios...

advantages of different trannies? Reply #8 – April 19, 2006, 10:59:13 PM C-6 tranny has the big block bellhousing. Small block C-6's are rare and most came on engines back in the 60's. T-5, the 5.0L version is rated at 300 LBS of torque, the 4 cylinder ones are much less, but if used with that in mind, I believe they bolt up. Good luck, Fred Quote Selected
