world class t5 question

[elcaminoss84]

would a world class t5 from a v6 camaro work with a v8 bellhousing behind a sbc or a BBC after being rebuilt?

A 60 degree, Yes. A 90 Degree, No. Doug

A WC V6 T5 means it is 1993 and later, so it has a Ford style case...so it will not bolt to an older GM bellhousing.

which transmission would be a better deal a 4 speed saginaw or a 80-92 v8 camaro t5 behind a bbc?

Depends on torque, you'd have to baby a T-5 to last behind a heathly BBC

 

[elcaminoss84]

would i have to baby the saginaw transmission too?

Yes

 

[elcaminoss84]

what parts would i be able to use from a sbc 350 with a five speed to use on my big block 454 to make it a 5 speed?

 

[abigda]

A big block and small block bellhousing and everything is the same, location they bolt in the car. The difference is I wouldn't run a bellhousing with a small flywheel, I'm running a 60's corvette bellhousing with a I wanna say 12" flywheel and clutch..... You still planning on running a T5? I worry about breaking my Muncie with my engine, i wouldn't want to do all the work of putting the T5 into to break it, my .02
