The T-5 has a maximum torque capacity of 265 ft. lbs. or 310 ft. lbs. depending on whether it's the early or late version. A bone stock 440 is rated at 480 ft. lbs.
If you want a 5-speed of that style the TKO500 or TKO600 is the way to go.

Yep, tremec TKO is the way to go. I couldn't keep t5's behind a mild 302 in a 3300 pound car.

I ripped the teeth off of third gear too many times to count in my 86 GT equipped with a T-5. I will guarantee you will do the same behind a totally stock 440 the first time you try to power-shift it. Dont do it. If you choose to, this -> will lead to this ->

Another vote for the $100.00 overdrive: A833od
That 440 will eat up those wide ratios, heck I have one behind a 318 2bbl in my beater and the gear spreads don't bother it at all.
