alrighty i have an 88 firebird 350 tpi automatic and i wrecked it and i found a body for it. the guy also has a t56 i think it is straight shift transmission to go with it, it was orignally hooked up to a 5.0 4bbl engine. what all will i have to do to bolt it up onto my motor. thank you guys for the help.

 

Sounds like all you would need is the correct drive shaft, ECM ( for the manual trans), speedo cable, and whatever else you need to cut into the body to put the cluch and shifter in. The 5.0 and 5.7 blocks have the same housing so it should button right up to the T56. It's the other smaller things you will need to figure out. Do a search for a auto to manual trans setup I'm sure you'll get all the details there.
