let me know if you can help, i am in southeastern wisconsin.
Thanks, Trevor

also, i want to know what people think of the 5.7L and the 5 speed manual paired

 

just keep checking craigslist or maybe try talking local wrencher, the more you pay attention to whats out there the quicker it comes to you

 

well I can't help ya out with a stock engine/tranny set up but if your wanting to sell of that 89' rs send me some pic's, lt1tj@hotmail.com or if your needing an lt1, 4l60e, or a few other 4th gen. parts we could talk about a trade + cash.

 

As far as a matching 5 speed there was never a 350 5 speed from the factory in a third gen f-body. T-5's arn't the strongest trannies in the world but they will survive behind a 350 provided you don't beat on it too much and take it easy on it. I ran one in my old rs for several years with no troubles. If you have the money there are better options out there if you are planning on a high powered application. Why are you looking for another 350 if you already have one? Why not use what you have and simply find a t-5 to throw in back of it? Was this car origionally automatic or was it stick? If it was origionally auto you would probably do best finding everything you need at a local you-pull-it type yard, that's what I did, or find a donor car for parts.
