Borg Warner T-10 4spd

I know it's a standard transmission used in old corvettes

My transmission guy has one fully rebuilt+bellhousing+shifter+yoak+clutch+driveshaft for $1,600

At the crank i have 420hp about 475tq

This is a street car but will see rare vists to the track

What do you guys think?

I would stay away just for the fact that it is a non-overdrive transmission... you said it yourself, this is a street car, street cars generally have overdrive. For $1600 might as well save up some more and go with the T56 swap.

>It's almost a straight swap...as long as you have all the parts { bellhousing, pedals, clutch hydraulic unit etc. )..As for the T-10..there were two: the regular T-10 and the Super T-10. They're both stronger than the T-5...in fact, many guys used the super T-10 for their drag cars in the 70's. The ST-10 is much stronger than the regular T-10 and you want the one with an iron case...which is much stronger than the common aluminum case one. It's a good trannie if you don't do a lot of highway driving and want to go to the track now and then.
>$1600 is a lot for that trannie, though. Will they install it too for that?...the T-56 would be a better choice! Right again, Deni!
