fl327 Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 hey guys whats going on. i was wondering if any of you guys are running a 94-up five speed from a camaro or firebird in your z's im reallly interested in a five speed, i need that extra gear for freeway cruising and wondering what needs to be done to mate a 1967 sbc to one of those t-5's. looked all over they want too much for a six speed man!!!!

Ray Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 The 94 and up camaro 5sp's out from behind the v6 are a real oddball... the input shaft is an inch longer and the trans to belhousing is a ford pattern. they are still tilted like the previous years but wont work the same. Since this trans only came behind the v6 and teh belhousing is different it will be very difficult to adapt. They are a world class t5 but you would be better off finding a setup out of a 88-92 v8 camaro... most of the wrecking yards know this and the v8 trans are a preimum.....Good luck but if you are going to spend the money t56's seem easier to find... ------------------ Remember it is only a piece of metal.

DavyZ Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Len, try GM Sports Salvage on Old Oakland Road in San Jose. They have T5's & T6's. You getting tired of your 4 speed or what? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Juday Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Hey Fairlady, DavyZ is right up to speed. I drove 2 1/2 hrs. to GM sport salvage to get mine. $750 included everything. Make sure you tell him what you are doing so you can get the whole package. When I got home I found the slave cylinder was cracked. One phone call, they sent me a NEW one, not a yard part. Another note: Mine came out of a '91 Firebird 305 TBI and has the .62 overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
