motor and transmission
Merry Christmas! I'm looking at some different transmissions but my I'm not sure how much horsepower or torque my motor is putting out. I built my motor with a stock lower end just bored .040 over a Camshaft that is Hydraulic Flat Tappet with an Advertised Duration 276/286, Lift .471/.471, port polished E7 heads and valve springs and roller rocker arms to match the cam. i also have a edlebrock performer 289 intake manifold and i don't have a carb yet. i was looking at a ford racing superduty t5 with a rating of 330ft/tq. does anyone know if i will need a stronger trans? if so my other thought was getting a tremec tko600. This is my first build so any help is much appreciated. thanks!

Re: motor and transmission
Welcome! You'll be plenty safe with that trans and what you are building. Enjoy and have fun with the project.
