nah i wanna stay with a 305, the car will be cruiser/show only, racing wont be a concern.

that was my original intention for the 86.

the torque curve on a well built 383 would make one hell of a weekend cruiser.

Thats what you say now, untill it makes 150 hp on the dyno :lol:

trust me, when the IROC is ready, too many people will be staring and not caring how much hp it has

and plus..my SS will have 700+hp... 79 vette with LT1....who cares about the iroc going fast

well, when you put it that way....305 FTW :wink:

:nod: thats why im not going crazzy with engine swaps and all that :lol: we see i to eye. sorta...:lol: I wish my car was a t5. how much do you think a parts car 82-84 with t5 would cost?

just a t5 conversion kit is like 500. a T5 parts car always goes for quite a bit more than auto

DAMN!!!!!!! errrr!!! freaking rebuilt 700r4... yeah but with the parts car I can always grab the console and what not. plus I can sell or keep parts.

and 82-84 had different t5 setups

stick with the 700R4.


get your el es Juan with a T56.

82-83 i believe were mechanical clutch, and 84-92 were hydraulic.

oh and the monte would get a tranny upgrade as well ;-)

o then the same as the 84. ;) do you know how much I can get for a freshly rebuilt 700r4 with paper work and a years waranty?

see the problem is, not that I dont get the concept of a manual. but Id totally suck and be all slow and like roll down the hill 5 ft before actually moving foward..and then like when your just cruising not actually on the gas real hard how do you know when to shift? at least if I got a t5 i can learn next year when i get my permin :wink:

i sell 700r4s as is for 100, so maybe 600-700 at most with rebuild info

you'd probably be better off with a little car to learn on, like an old Cavalier or something.

or a civic

:werd:

and thats more money ill need to spend lol...

god dam i read all the unread posts in this thred and go back to the lounge,and theres 3-5 more unread posts
