i have a first gen sbc and am wanting to mock a T5 tranny behind it.. What particular tranny will I need and what will be needed to be done for it to fit. I hear that they dont hold up to much power and Im looking to have about 300-350 tq. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Might want to poke your head in over on www.thirdgen.org. The thirdgen fbody came stock with 1st and 2nd gen SBC's and T5.

The problem with the Camaro T5 is that they are rotated over a little bit so it requires some creative fabricating or possibly buy a crossmember design for it. You want to look for a 1988-1992 V8 F body T5.

with the 88-92 f body v8 t5 will it mate to it or do i need to get anything else?

into what car?

If you go with a V8 88-92 F-body T5,
for mechanical clutch release, get an 83 Camaro bellhousing (tilted 17 degrees) and for hydraulic, you could go 84-92 Camaro bellhousing (tilted also.)

Or Lakewood makes scattershields for either option that have both the tilted and straight up trans. patterns.

All those have a fork that points down a little bit (7:30 instead of 9:00)
