I've heard a lot about this but I just want to make sure.
First off:
Do you think my v6 T5 would do well up against my moderate 305? It's nothing special, I would say prob as much power as stock trans am's 305. I mean, if I didn't drive it hard (yeah right) etc. . .
Second:
Is it NESSACARY I change raditors to a v8 one?

DON'T TELL ME TO SEARCH ARCHIVES! I have .

 

The radiator you have is probably the same deal, I'm not positive what they used in a V6 but I dont recall it being different. The typical radiator in a V8 car is made of aluminum with plastic end caps, and the rows in the radiator are 1" wide. If yours matches that, you are good to go.

 

The v-6 is different. the hoses connect on opposite sides. Go to the jy and get one off of a v-8 it will bolt right in.

 

Well now, doesnt that suck!

I guess you are in for a new radiator.

 

Thanks. Ok then, how about the T5? I know about the bell housing etc but it'll work right? This isn't going to be a street car, just something I can drive to the grocery store in college twice a week with.

 

In regards to the T-5, the clutch's and input shafts are different . You'd have to have a V-6 disc hub put into a V-8 disc for it to work correctly. Otherwise you'd be running a 9.something" disc with a 10.4" pressureplate and flywheel.
