Hi im new here and i got a quick q about trannys. I have a world class t5 out of a 1996 fourth gen camaro that i would like to use in my 86 roc, will this bolt up? It's a brand new tranny and i want to use it with a L98 out of a 89 iroc. any ideas?

 

It can if you change a fw things. The bellhousings are different and the input chafts are different. It is a lot of work but it can be done. Try a search under "V6 t5 into V8" Not really wise when you can just get a 3rd gen T5 for just as much as your convertion will cost. By the way, welcome to the boards

 

Welcome!

This is going to be your biggest problem...
I'm pretty sure search words have to be at least three characters long.

That said, Shifty's right. V6 T5s can be used behind V8s with the proper bellhousing/clutch/input shaft. Actually, you don't have a choice about the bellhousing. You have to use the right one to get it to bolt up. As far as the clutch and/or input shafts go, there are two ways to go. You can keep the V6 input shaft and run the smaller V6 clutch disc with a V8 pressure plate...

or

You can switch the input shaft and be able to use the correct size V8 clutch disc with your V8 pressure plate.

 

Thanks guys, i figured it wasn't a direct bolt in. the only reason i asked is that it is a 0 mile unit and im worried about the durability of the T5 (especially a used one) behind the mild build L98 im putting in my car this summer.
