[QUOTE=impstocker;580762]

So, now some questions

1. Would I be able to replace and use the T5 over a 4 speed that came in earlier GM cars like a Sunbird, Monza ect.?
2. Would a T5 be able to withstand the abuse, I figure low HP and sort of low weight between 2900-3000 lb.

My other choices would be 85 or 86 Camaro, Firebird which came with L4 or S10

Throttle body over 2 barrel. ?

1. I don't think that you can put a 5 speed in a 4 speed combo. Better ask Yak.
2. See above.

85-86 Camaro/Firebird would have been 5 speed combos as would S-10.

I'm old, I'd go for the 2V but where are you going to find a body? Mid 80s Camaros/Firebirds and S-10s are still around and not THAT expensive. With todays rules, I like the 1962-64 Chevy II but find one!

Something to remember when you're looking at W/S, a 5 HP difference in an A/S combo is 40 lbs. and maybe 3-4 hundredths tops. A 5 HP difference in a W/S combo is 120 lbs. and probably 2-2.5 TENTHS!!!!

There is some W/SA stuff on Racing Junk. It is ( I think ) a 85 S-15 2.5 and a bunch of parts for cheap. It is located nearby in ( I think ) Gaston county, NC. Ya gotta love a lower class Stocker. Don Jackson
