GT500 driveline
I am going to building a motor this winter and was wondering if anyone knows how much hp and trq a GT500 tranny, and rear end will hold up to and how much the GT will hold up to?

i have seen a Ford GT hold up to 1400RWHP down here in TX and the guy goes to the track at least 3 times a month since he installed the turbos last year and so far no problems

There's only one 1400rwhp TT GT that I'm aware of and it's Joe's in florida. Got any pics? Joe's might be stock block but I'm not sure.

There's a lot more to it than the material used. I'm quite sure the GT's block is stronger than the GT500's. Ford made **** sure:

Well since the Ford GT was Ford's supercar/halo/world beater they used the best of the best. I don't know all the specs but I've read that the GT was built much stronger. I'm looking now for the specs on the GT500 engine block.

I don't remember there being a question about the block The gt500 rear is the same as the Gt's. The T56 has a dual plate clutch setup IIRC. May want to check svtperformance.com and see what the guys modding GT500's are getting out of the clutches.

Dynamic: Keep the Mustang GT block it is plenty strong even past 500RWHP. Buy a terminator crank and rods, and some better pistons. The rotating assembly will work in the s197 GT block.

I guess my 5.0 iron block which will split at 500RWHP is stronger than a GT...
