Hi, we put a IROC T5 into my wifes '72 SS Nova, 350 inch/3.55 back about
1988 or so .... we baby it, as we were told it was a tad brittle ... anyway,
in this time of gas as $2+, the .67 overdrive ( underdrive? ) is nice, she
gets 20+ mpg cruisin down the big slabs ... at 70 mph or so.
This is with a compcam #280 and a big POS Holley 780; she has to do 70 or
the low rpms start everything bucking and jumping (g) ....
........ I have heard horror stories of the T5 falling apart all by
themselves, but we have had no trouble ... so far ...
Oh, if you do this, make sure you rebalance the driveshaft ....

regards, ken campbell, ... hey the Nova Nats are in Iowa this year ...
