Guest Anonymous Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 This guy has a wrecked 89 2.8l v6 camaro with a 5sp trans.I have a 327 about 330hp that I had planned on using a turbo 350 with in a 77 280z.Would the 5sp out of the camaro work?If it is strong enough would it bolt up to my 327?,or would I need another bell housing. I would appreciate any insight that anyone can provide. thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 No, it won't work without modification (input shaft has a totally different number of splines) and the V6 trannys are "sucky" to say the least--they WILL NOT hold up to the torque of a V8. I have already done my homework on this one...trust me! Sorry to rain on the parade, but you'll be money ahead getting a V8 T5 World Class tranny instead.

BLKMGK Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Do remember that the TH350 will NOT have an overdrive. Others who have put in non-overdriven trannys have NOT been happy with them as they buzz the motor pretty good at highway speeds. Consider continuing to look for an OD tranny....

Guest Anonymous Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Yea, I have the jtr manual and have read about high rpms with the th350.I have a 73 240 l28 5sp for a daily driver sooooo when I take the77 v8 out (god willing)Im not going to do any long distance crusing,I live in an area where I wont need to get it on freeway,however I,d rather have a 5 sp,but I already have the th350 and stock shifter and console and with my limited fundage I guess Ill go with that for now.
