i thought of using a tci paddle shifter but i threw that idea away.
so what type of manual transmission came with the ls1 from 1998-02 f-body's.
because im on a budget and id like to get a ls1 v8 used by private seller or in a junkyard that id rebuild along with the trans to put in my first car which will be a 1978-81 camaro.
im 15 by the way and this wont be happening till im 16 or 17

what kind of budget are you on? because it's not as easy as just dropping in a new engine and transmission, it's a lot of work and a lot of parts which means $$$

If you're on a budget a stock LS1 and 4L60E is cheaper. T56 tend to be much more expensive. That is, if you don't mind automatic over manual.

i was thinking going to junkyards and look for a 98-02 f-body with engine and transmission and just buy the whole car so i could use more than just the engine and trans

not that easy man...find an ls1 around $1-3k lol depending on miles
4l60- $200-1k depending on shape and miles

for the money just get an lt1 car best bang for your buck there. Ive seen several 6 speed lt1 cars with around 100k on the clock go for what just and ls1 and transmission would go for

So as you can see deals are out there but you need to plan out better what you are trying to do. After you have a budget you can set plans..
