ok i have a 1990 camaro rs(305) manual, im wanting to put a k5 blazer 350 tbi which like the 305 has a 2 bolt main. im wanting to put a TR6060 tranny(corvette and GXP and new camaro and dodge charger and 07 ford shelby mustang gt500) but i dont know if i take a GM tranny if it would bolt to the 350. what adapters would i need to do it. and the tranny would lead to a 90 iroc-z axle with either 3.73 gears or 4.10 gears. any suggestions? or if the TR6060 would never work could i get suggestions about another good tranny.

Just get a t56 so you dont have to reinvent the wheel.

Agreed, the TR6060 is just an evolution of the T56, and while it is a hair stronger, your 350 doesn't need that extra strength. With the T56, you can get a version that Tremec offers specifically for our third gens, or you gan get a used one out of a fourth gen, and the sticky details that fairly well.

thanks, i was also thinking about using the T56, but the 350 will be pushing about 355 hp and 389 tq. would it hold up with out breaking?

Yes i can hold that no problem. Viper spec t56 can hold alot more i believe.

Any version of the T56 can hold 390 ft-lbs no sweat, even if you use slicks.

thanks for the help, but what kind of adapter would i need if needed?
