hey there, i have a 1979 z28 camaro with a 350 and a th350 auto. i want to convert it to sick, so i wanted to either put a normal 4 speed or i wanted to try to put a later tranny like a 5 speed or a t56 6 speed. any thoughts? recomendations?

 

Well first of all, the only five speed you are going to find is a T5 and they arent worth a damn unless you have a 305. The 350 will shred it so fast. I have heard of people putting the T56 in other generations of camaro's, it does take time and a lot of fabricating. Overall the 4 speed would prolly be the best in my general opinion. Good Luck

 

I put a T56 in my 72 behind a 396. I bought a kit from t56kit.com. It came with a crossmember and the stuff for the hydraulic clutch. Pay attention to the year of the trans. It's important for the kit. I didn't have to do any trans tunnel mods, either. You will have to use a flywheel to adapt late modeltrans to earlier engine. Sure is fun and it's not very difficult at all. Good luck!
