Don't bother with a T-5 trans...too much trouble for a trans that probably won't hold up to the task.
Lots of folks here have used the Tremec unit from TKO...might give that a look-see.
Do a search on the subject in this forum...you'll see quite a few threads/posts on the 5/6speed conversions.

Mike, I changed from a factory 1976 4 speed to a Tremec 5 speed. Check out the web site. I'm very happy with the change..Send me a PM with your address and I'll send you the Installation Instructions for 1968-1982 Corvettes..Terry
