Re: [AMC-List] t5 or tko

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TKO is stronger taller and bigger.
The few that have gone into javelins required floor surgery, big time.
You can use the front shifter location wiht an aftermarket kit.
T5 can be built to handle 330ftlb for $1000.00 or less if you do it yourself.
To get the shifter forward you need to use an S10 tailhousing.
Do some online searchs about both these trans as behind a 304 it really is going to be a personal choice. the T-5 trans built to 330 ftlb spec will hold up fine.
The bolt pattern on the TKO is Ford toploader IIRC, not T-5.
