Ma Mopar's 5 speed OD

Actually the 5.2L magnum v8 in pickups makes more HP than a 340 4bbl motor. You have to remember that the 5.2's 230 HP is net while the 340's 275 was gross.

Anyway, the 5spd manual behind a V6 was not the same transmission as the 5spd behind a 5.2 or 5.9. The V6 isn't nearly as strong as the v8 tranny's.

I have a A833OD behind a ~ 370 HP 360 that is driven agressively and has about 40k miles on it behind the 360.

NOTE: Everyone talks about the T5 not being a very strong tranny but I ran into a guy a few weeks back at our clubs cruise night that had a 70 Mustang Pro Street that runs low 10's in the quarter, 472 big block. He had blown up the top loader he had been running in it and swapped in the T5 he had until he had the funds for a new tranny. So far he has made about 50 1/4 mile runs on the T5 and it was holding up. Even he was amazed that it was taking the abuse.
