Here is the good oil on WC T5's.

Anything less than a Word Class will not last for any length of time in a cobra unless it's driven by your granny. 
It really is a great transmission. If you want to pump HUGGGEEE horsepower through it then it can be upgraded as detailed here.

Rebel,
Thanks for the extra info..had seen that website some time ago great little info package for a beginner such as myself!
In regards to the horsepower i dont think my 302 windsor on LPG  would do much damage to a world class box but i stand corrected... 
Cheers thanks once again,
Al

Ive found a 5 spd tremec for a Ba XR8. Would that be similar in dimensions to the single rail i currently have? My main worry is of course where the shifter point comes through the tunnel as i dont want to be modifying the tunnel in any way!

I believe the bell housing patern is different on the new modular motors. Unfortunately these boxes also have the bellhousing intergrated into the gearbox casing as one unit. There's been a few of these boxes at some real bargain prices. It'd be great if they could be adapted up some how.
Cheers

Just out of interest, our president broke an axle in his BTR Commodore diff on Sunday. He was just street driving at the time, so I expect it was just too much prolonged punishment on the track & at the drags. He runs a 347 stroker.
Talking about broken axles, Pete with Gold Cobra, is also looking at replacing an axle in his 9". The shortened axles is showing signs of stress. We've had a few people brake axles in these, it's always the shortened axle. I expect due to the fact the new spline is no longer hardened. People braking these just run healthy 302's.
