Well, just be glad it's a V8 T-5. Yes, it'll work. I've bolted a V6 T-5 up a V8 engine and tore it apart. And, your's is a V8 car so that will make it even easier. So see, you're going from V8 to V8 and not V6 to V8 like I did. It'll go well.

A friend of mine did that swap in his 305 t-5 camaro. He used the painless wiring harness and found an aftermarket fuel pump that didn't have to go in the tank. That made it a lot easier since the harness comes with instructions and he didn't have to drop the tank.
