Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Your questions are really open-ended. There isn't a mountaintop in the world you could go to to get a definitive answer. But, there are some generalities.

On the TBI forum is a sticky about a "budget" 350 build. Look that over and see what you think.

You don't "have" to replace the T5. But, if you don't take it easy on it, you will "need" a different transmission, guaranteed. But, there are members who have gotten T5's to live behind some pretty stout engines just by not doing clutch dumps or speed shifting. If you want to do those kinds of things, you need a better transmission.

 

Welcome to the boards.

You looking to know the best crate 350? Or 350 that you can find in a salvage yard?

Yes you can keep the same transmission if you wish. If it is stock then you would have a world class T-5 but a 350 will eventually tear it up.

 

I MIGHT HAVE A CHEV 1988 350 DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT DO YOU THINK IT WILL MOUNT UP

 

Yes.

 

sorry for all the ? when i floor it my shift handle lifts up is that because my tran is loose or is that normal its a 5 speed and also goto www.myspace.com then type in search person rattbird85@yahoo.com to see my firebird and please tell me if you think its worth putting a 350 in her thanks
