Taking a 88 to 98 350 switching it over to a carb.intake plumbing this engine.and a matter of fact point of view on the pros and cons ..rather the hardships of bolting on the stock t5 or the t56 .this site has been a great help so far to an extent but it would be great to acauly get a break down.instead of the well I suppose and I imagine but I'm not exactly sure answers.thanks everyone for the help

It's pretty simple and the sbc swaps have been done a millions times especially in these cars. Did you have any specific questions?
Is your car already a t5? What year 350 are you using?

Re: V6 to 350 carb swap.manual trans.

I'm in on this discussion. I have an 86 firebird 2.8 mpfi /automatic and want to do v8/ t-5 swap on it. I found a wrecked no title 89 RS that is 305 tbi /t5. Just started to pull 305 /5 speed. Bad thing is neither are presently running.
