i have a 1985 camaro z28 with a 383 stroker and to no surprise the t-5 lasted bout a month and now i only have forth gear.i would like to know if anybody has a tremec in there car. when i try to find one nothing seems to work for my car. i like the tremec because it seems to be the best bang for your buck.any suggestions on what tranny i should go with will help me a lot

 

Jump into the boat and get yourself a t-56... I hear their features are near bullet proof status...

 

will that work not being an ls based block

 

Check the T56 sticky at the top of the forum... LS block has nothing to do with it unless you want to keep your T5 clutch/bellhousing, then you can use a LS-T56.

 

Well I have about a 96 or 97 T-56 in my 83 car with its stock block, so yeah.... . I could be wrong, but I think it will work.
