So I'm throwing in a 350 HO in a month or so, and was wondering about my tranny.. I used to think I had a 700R4, but I guess I was wrong, based on google searches... 1982 Z with a 3 spd auto..
I take it this will just burn up at the sight of the 350? Honsestly, I don't much mind.. I'm kinda lookking for an excuse to do a T5 swap, and since the engine is being pulled anyway....
Do all T5s fit? Are they all the same?
Also, just how hard IS the conversion, bearing in mind that the whole assembly is being pulled anyway.... I can do a search for the details, but is it not too bad? I assume pedals and the shifter are the only big differences, right?

I feel stupid now.. Bought the car before I knew how to drive a sick, now I don't want to go back to auto...Especially with a 350 HO, just seems odd.

 

ANyone? A simple, no, it'l trash your tranny would work..
And a T5 would hold it strongly, too, correct?
