OK, I have been sitting on a pile of Iron Duke 151 2.5 parts. New and used, but clean. Have both Chevy and BOP pattern blocks. TBI intakes, heads, cut crank, rods, some new pistons, ect.

I was doing some research on T5 Transmissions, looking for one to install in a 3rd Gen Camaro street project.I couldn't help to notice the low 1st gears available, up to 4.03

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. ?

Just for some winter conversation. Taylor made Billy Nees questions?
