Shhh....try not to say "bullet proof" in public.

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.

Cheers!

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.

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

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.

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.

Cheers!
