Shhh....try not to say "bullet proof" in public. :3DSMILE:
And make sure you say T5Z instead of T5. Big difference.

Now the big question -- what are you gonna put it in? Do you have a Cobra chassis??? I have a spare in my garage that I might let go cheap. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Cheers!

Bell Housing
 
I think you better try and find a Lakewood or similar scatter shield. I would hate to see you tear up more than a clutch later on when you decide to put your foot in it....and you will.

Good Choice by the way.

Dune Buggy Chassis
 
How much do you want for that spare chassis? I always wanted a dune buggy to drive around here in Austin.:LOL:

T 5 zzzzzz
 
Ok T5zzzzz


That's ok Cobra Dude I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE !!!
As for a dune buggy hmmm doesn't sound like a bad idea ED !
I could proberly make it to the next annual event .
{Scatter shield} if the engine turns CCW would it not sling out of the passenger side ? If not well I guest I should look into this one .
By the way I will have a full roller 302 long block for sell freshly built if any one needs a spare, 2k lots of good stuff ..
Will post soon !

Bullet proof T5 is like saying Army intelligence, it just doesn't exist. If you don't break it, you are not driving hard enough. :3DSMILE::D:3DSMILE:

Tony,

I went through my garage and found that spare T5 bellhousing. Its yours if you want to come by and pick it up. I was planning to bring it to the meet last Saturday, but I got waylaid at the last second.

Although you may still want to do a scatter shield with that much horsepower - you can use the bellhousing to at least fit the components.

Ed, I've decided not to sell. With the welding class, I'm thinking I have enough metal here to build a lift for my garage. Plus, look at the amount of hp that's on it -- 200+ hp should lift my car is less than a second. :JEKYLHYDE :JEKYLHYDE :JEKYLHYDE

Cheers!
