Hey guys I just dropped a junkyard T5 in my 87 GTA and it actually worked. Im pretty exited about that because i havent had second or fourth in a few months. But i have a question for you guys.
First off, i bought the car from a guy who said it was a 350, but GTAs only came with 350s and auto, it has a 5 speed. The vin number says its an L98 which is a 305. but i dont know if its the original block, its still a tuned port and the heads are aluminum. i thought the 305s had cast iron heads.
Anyway it feels preety quick, faster than a 305TPI with a 700r4 and a crap load faster than my old TBI. I know the only way to see what it can do is to take it down to englishtown, but id like to get an idea of what it will do in the 1/4 before i go down there: heres the setup.....
305/350????
TPI
Aluminum Heads
Headers to 3inch pipe w/ gutted cat and a flowmaster muffler.
Borg Warner 5 speed
and 3.45 9bolt posi rear end.
think i can hit mid 14s???
