From what I understand, you can use the 4 cylinder's T-5 because it does mount up, however it can't really sufficiently handle a 302 that's been pretty well modified. Too much torque, ya know?

That is the same tranny i will be using for awhile until i get a better one. It will hold, just wouldnt really rip the gears and power shift and stuff because it wouldnt last long. My car will have about 375 maybe 400 with the tune as well.
