305 tpi, 5 speed, and t-tops

I've been looking for one for some time, does this car exist? I've seen some rs with TBI but I want a TPI 305 with a stick. Does anyone have this combination?

LT1,

Welcome aboard!

Check the FAQ section at the front of the site. I belive there is a section listing commonly available combinations. I seem to recall that a 305TPI/5/T-Top was available, but I'm not certain.

There is a lot of good information in the FAQ and Tech Article sections, so don't overlook those for answers.

that WAS my car. swapped the 305 for a 350 though.... the 305 needed to be rebuilt, and i figured, "why pay 1500 for a rebuild, when i can buy a crashed car with a 350 tpi?

sure, i didnt know haw many miles where on the car, but hey, it works, right?!

Good deal they are out there. There must not be many out there though because their hard to find. Guess I'll keep looking.
Thanks for the replys.

I don't think the 3.73's are factory stock. When I bought the car, they were already in.
