Tranny swap--85 Trans Am T-5 fit into 91 Z28 700-R4???
Hey people, i'm trying to be a t-5 and all related parts from a guy, and i need to know if his bellhousing/ALL bellhousings from a V8 will work for my 91 Z28 305/700R4 swap. Also, I don't know if its a 305 or a 350 chevy engine in the TA please let me know a.s.a.p as i'm doing the swap very soon

Yes, yes, yes and yes. The T-5 and T-5 components will all fit in your car and bolt up to the engine. You will have to do "some" modifing (remove the knockout in the firewall for the clutch master cylinder) but as far as mounting pedals and the tranny bolting up to the engine, you'll be just fine. As a matter of fact, I have seen on alot of f-bods that the wiring for the clutch start switch is already there, tucked neatly away, even though the cars had autos.

yes the 305 bellhousing will bolt up, howerver since you have a 1 piece rear main seal you will need a later model flywheel, the 85's will not work on your car, make sure you get all the hydraulic clutch related stuff you can
