Manual trans. question?

Will a 5 Spd. manual transmission out of a 1985 2.8 six cylinder firebird bolt to a 5 spd. v8 manual bellhousing out of a third gen. firebird or camaro?

Yes, it will bolt to the bellhousing.
The clutch is another story.

You've got to use a V6 clutch disc.
Seems to work great on a stock LG4 motor, since that is what my friend is running on his 86 Trans Am.

It is one of the many versions of a 305 found in f-bodies throughout the years. It is the 145hp version found in the mid and late 80's.
