t5 swap problems

i have a t5 out of a 88 sport coupe with a 2.8 that i want to put into a 86 z28 with a built 350 (about 350hp 375 ft lbs) the z28 also has a t5 but its trashed. 1st off, will the 88 trans fit? 2nd will it take the abuse of the 350 or will it just come undone?


thanks

Re: t5 swap problems

if you throw a lot of money into special parts, you can make it fit. Its cheaper to sell it and buy a v8 t5
