Which engine is better 351C or 351W?
“The 351W is a basic 302-type engine. The 351C engine got all the hype, but what we race today is the basic W or a combination of the two. The
W is a better engine for long-lived low RPM power
. It needs proper preparation to race, and, as it has the better torque curve on the low end, it is not a high rpm engine.
How much power can a T-5 handle?
My T5 has lasted very reliably behind about
480 ftlb flywheel
torque (412 at wheels) with much full throttle use at the strip. Having said that though some people seem to be very ‘hard’ on transmissions and can spit a T5 all over the ground behind a stock 302. If you think you’re in that catagory then don’t use the T5.
What cars use T5 transmission?

Will a C6 transmission fit a 302?
Premium Member. The C6 will physically bolt onto
either the 289 or 302
