Any T5s in 4th gens from factory?
Did any 4th gen camaros come with a T5 transmission from the factory, b/c i've heard a few times about a T5 being pulled from a 4th gen camaro with a V6, did GM ever do this from the factory?

It won't have the correct V8 input shaft, so you'd have to use a special clutch, but otherwise yes it will work. If it's a WC T5 it should be rated around 300 lbs/ft, but that depends on the gear ratios. That rating is for the V8 performance ratios (2.95/1.94/1.34/1.00/0.63). I'm not sure what ratios the 4th gen V6 T5 has. You can probably find out at Tremec's website www.ttcautomotive.com
