Is a stock 350 too much for a T5?
I'm looking at getting a 1984 Z28 with a T5 and a stock 350. The only thing I'm going to put on it is a 750 holley carb and some headman headers. Is the 350 going to be too much for the t5? I've heard a lot of bad and good things about the T5s. I do have an 86 700r4 that was rebuilt but still isn't shifting out of first, for some reason. I could SOMEHOW fix that and throw that in there with the 350 but that tranny is just giving me so much trouble trying to fix it.

Drive the T5 with some respect knowing it will break if you abuse it.
Might last forever.
Ride it hard and power shift.
It might blow up first drive.
I personally have 2 cars with the T5 and am not afraid of blowing them up. One is a stock 84z and the other a 3000# 375hp vega.

Had a 350 with a T-5 for a few years. I've had no problems. It should do the job for you.

Forgot to mention it's a corvette 350. Not sure if that matters. Lol

Nope not one damn bit.
No a stock 350 is not to much for a T5 in good shape unless you cannot shift correctly and you constantly launch the car like an idiot on regular streets. Many people here have had T5s live long happylives behind 350.

A holly 750 on a stock 350 will no work well.
