Well if it sounded like a jab it wasn't meant that way, I learned alot so far by reading the forum but it helped me more by asking questions thats what I meant. As far as the T5 thats what I decided to go with since its the best option for me to have the G-Force replace gears. I just need to find a bell housing that goes in straight instead of the 15% tilt from the camaro unless you think it will work out fine with an after market shifter (I was thinking B&M). I found a clutch and flywheel so no problems there. Thanks for the feedback, Jason

thanks for the info guys, I always say you learn alot by reading but you can learn even more by asking questions

Thanks for responding to my question Joe, ive been doing alot of research on this jtr build on different transmissions, engines, bellhousing, suspension, differentials, etc. I don't have to worry about emissions at all since I lived in FL and we haven't had inspections since I was born (23 now) as far as engines i'm very set on the 327(<3 the carb) cause I love the way it revs fast and the way it screams, also that being said its smaller than a 350. which will give me better weight distribution. on the transmissions ive been deciding between the tremec tko 500 or the G-Force T5 gears (open to suggestions on the pros and negatives of both), but im leaning more towards the T5 on how people tell me to get the camaro transmission 83-92 I think ( is this true?) and shifts great with the 5.0 pro shifter? The differential the R200 in the 280z is more than enough (thats what i heard). Its gunna be mostly use for a Weekend Warrior/Daily Driver and some autocross events (No drag racing at all). I know cars very well but when it comes to mix matching parts, engines, transmissions etc, this is where I need the help. Im open to suggestions on what people did to put theirs together. I will also be working on this for a couple years so time and money are not really limited since its just me at home. Im very commited to make this possible so if anyone has advice for me if you could please help out. Thanks Jason

Well first off im new here and some people I know told me to come here to have my questions answered, so here it goes. In the future im planning to buy a 240,260,or 280Z and do the jtr v8 conversion swap. the engine im goin to buy is a crate 327 sbc 375hp (comes with the flywheel) and i want to put in a richmond 5 speed w/ overdrive (not a fan of automatics). the car will be manual when i buy it. im not really mechanical incline but i learn things as I go. i will also buy the manual from jtr when i have the money. so all what needs to be done to put this swap together with the richmond 5 speed transmission? also what clutch do you recommend? thanks jason
