• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

done with american cars





^ That, even a WC T-5 is sketchy. Although, T-56s haven't proven to be completely bulletproof... :D I'm on the 14th, and the car has 14K miles.
 


Even a WC T-5 will fall apart after one summer of hard launches.

GM Wouldn't put a T5 behind the 80's 350 for this reason.

but im using a 3800 motor will the t56 or t5 bolt up to it?

The T56 has been put behind a 3800 a couple of times that I've seen, T5s are garbage but the easiest to do, even some of the bolt-ons 3800 f-body guys are blowing up the T5.
 


T56's are all BOP whereas the series II is the 60*.

the old RWD 3800's are BOP, but even the modern series II 3800 in the F body was 60*

If you're getting a 7MGTE MK3 supra, then you better take the valve covers off and tighten the head bolts down to 72 ft. lbs. right away if it hasn't had a head gasket job done. If you do that, then you can do basic BPU's with it (3" turbo back, intake, hardpipes, IC) and up the boost a little and be fine on the stock head gasket. That combination above at 12 lbs. of boost on a stock trim turbo will put you around 350 HP and gobs of torque for quite a bit less than what it would take to get a GP there, and it will be reliable as well :)
