350 TPI w/ t-5 from the factory?
y0
Did thirdgen's ever come from the factory 350 TPI with a T-5?
Edit: Just curious, I heard someone talking about it on some other forums. I'd trust what people say here and not there!

You could get the dealer to install a 350 w/ a voided warranty.

there were a very very select few made for the end of 86-beginning of 87 my understanding was that there were only a handful ever created but they werent a regular prodution because the tranny was crap and couldnt handle the torque from the 350.

Thats what I heard, I hope so...hnnnnnnnnnn....bleh, my last thought before I go to the light will be about 350 5 speeds. then when I get there Im gonna ask the big guy upstairs if its true and he'll probably end creation for me asking that question.

And to clarify my post previous...I wan't trying to say you could get a firehawk w/ a 5-speed...which would be stupid.
When I was looking for a 5speed car, I did find a 5-speed in Tennessee with a 350 inserted by dealer when bought new...with paper work.
Edit:
On another note...I wanted a 2002 friebird w/ an LS6 if they were to produce one. They didn't, but with the cash I bet you could get an LS6 installed...though a Vette would probably end up cheaper. I'm sure it was the same for the third gen years also. The Vette could satisfy the manual trans and 350 combo.

Gm experimented with a lot of things like the camaro with four wheel Steering. Belive it or Not They Had them. They never went into production That I know of but you can bet your TPI that there is a GM Executive, or engineer Some where that Has one.
is Topic is *** bad as the old camaros that had the high performance aluminum intake and Holley in the trunk. Not installed. You had to do that Your self.
They tinker, brianstorm, and Play around with ideas Alot of stuff was built that We Will never See!!!!!

I got a 1LE 350 and it was converted to 5 speed. Yes the RPO's and the block/saved framed windo sticker agree it's 5.7 auto when it was made. I don't know if the T-5 is built at all but it was raced in SOLO comp.

I'd even question the '50' number at this point, I dont think anyone from GM has ever stated that it was just propogated by magazine writers.
Damn myths are never going to die.

Edit:
My info comes from a discussion once on gcfba.org. Your right, they did not have 5-speeds, but the topic was on when the 350 actually started in the thirdgens. I stand by my other statments, though.
