I have a 1968 camaro with a 350 going in it and am deciding between two transmission setups.(well three if you count the original saginaw 3 speed)

for $350, i can get a full nv3500 5 speed tranny setup from flywheel and starter to driveshaft with just under 7k miles on it.

for $400, i can get a t5 5 speed tranny with 5k miles on rebuild with a new flywheel, new starter, and new clutch kit(clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing).

I dont know which to buy. Both have hardly any miles, the t5 has more new stuff and a few less miles(since rebuild...other has 7k original miles without a rebuild), but how do they compare in performance? I dont know what kind of torque ratings these have, or really much about them at all. Please tell me all you can.

The $50 price difference doesnt matter to me...I am probably going to talk them down anyway.

Thanks in advance
