Default Looking for a 6 speed transmission

I have a 1987 Camaro with the 4 bbl 305 motor with a 5 speed standard transmission. I'm putting together a 350 engine that I plan on putting in the car soon. Is there any 6 speed standard transmission that will bolt up to an older Chevy 350 that will work in a Camaro?

What he said... You can take the old LT1 bellhousing and use it to mate up to the old GenI sbc. I have one sitting in my storage that a friend gave to me that I was going to use for a swap.

In fact I think you can take the bellhousing from the old T5 and move it to the T56 but I'm not 100% sure on that so don't quote me. There's a post that I have on here somewhere with some links in it that Specter was nice enough to give me from a few months back. Do a search on my name and "swap" and you will probably find it pretty easily.

Ha, it wasn't as easy to find as I thought...

Here you go...

I have a t56 in my 3rd gen and it does great. You should have no problem with this swap.
