Building a camaro

Well im havin some trouble building my L98 T5 Camaro, I've found a few T5s but theyre either mustang T5's or V6 t5's or NWC t5's or any combination of the above. So i'm lookin for a WC T5 from a V8 (with bell-housing, clutch fork&slave cyl) and a MAF style wiring harness.
Thats the wishlist for now... Any bites?

Re: Building a camaro

A T5 won't live behind a L98. Get a T-56 or better. FYI

And a whole wiring harness is usually more costly to remove in one piece than it's worth to purchase. Most places that pull engines from junk cars just cut the thing up, and persuading them to not cut it costs $$.

Wish you luck though.

Re: Building a camaro

cant afford a T56. Ive looked theyre on average 2-4 times more than a T5. So i thought a WC T5 would take the punishment. but maybe not...
