305 to 350

I have an 89 IROC-Z with a 305 and TPI with the stock T-5 manual transmission. I am interested in swapping to the L98 350 engine that was optional at the time. I was recently told that they never released the L98 with a manual transmission because there was question as to whether the T-5 could handle the torque that the engine put out. My question is, is it a bad idea for me to follow through with the swap? will it tear up my transmission? and if it is doable, what would i need to make it happen
