The right transmission

A bit of back story.
I recently purchased a 1985 z28. It was a manual car and somebody put an auto in it(I don't know why) all the components are their. And it drives with the auto. However I would like to put the manual back in. Which transmission should I be placing in. It's a 305. Cheers

A t5 would have been the factory manual for 1985. If you do a search there's a wealth of info but they aren't the strongest trannies.

I'm not looking for a high horsepower car. As long as the T5 can take the power of a stock 305 it should be fine.
