would it work???
 

i am not sure if the T-5 tranny would fit on a TPI corvette 350??

I would think since the early ones were T5's it shouldn't be a problem. It will definately physically bolt to the motor though.

early C4's were the 4+3 trans, then went to an M6, but im pretty sure the motors were the same

If you're talking about swapping a Vette 350 into your F-body, then yes, you can bolt the flywheel/clutch/bellhousing from your T5 up to the back of the Vette motor and install.

If you wanna put a T5 in a Vette, well, that's a different animal all together.

LOL nah i am thinking about putting it in my T/A i know where i can get a good low milage vette motor and my T/A has the T-5 tranny in it!

Don't get hung up on searching for a 350 TPI vette motor. Chances are you won't find a low mileage one for a decent price (it's been more than 15 years since they were new).

i found a 1991 TPI 350 with 91,000 miles on it for $1,500 and was thinking about it??

If you took the 1 off the front of that number it'd be a good deal. I bought a 2-bolt main, iron head L98 from an '88 GTA from SmokingSS for $150 a few years back. Even if it's a legit Vette L98 with the aluminum heads and 4-bolt main block, it's ~maybe~ worth $600-700. As Justin said, it's an old motor. Hell, $1500 would almost get you a used LS1 with a harness.

My advice - keep shopping, or get the guy selling the L98 to cut his price by 60%.

You should stick an LT1 in it.

nah it would be nice and so would a LS1 but trying to do things cheap and simple!

i have a 350 from a 87 GTA that I'm probably going to wind up selling.

is everything intact like TPI system and what not??

here is the website with the engine for sale http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-Co...mZ200298003558

Well, that's not a bad deal then; they're including the trans, all the accessories, etc. for that price. If you already have a TPI setup, you really don't need anything besides the engine. Maybe they would sell just the motor?

yes .. still in the car at the moment. Runs and everything

fparts is Contemporary Corvette, they probably wont sell you it any other way except the way it is listed. With the trans, but no harness, it isnt worth $1,600

I have to agree 1600 is too much. I bought a complete 350 tpi from a gta with harness and accs. that had 60k on the motor for $500 a while back. Keep searching. Check out the thirdgen.org boards. There is always someone selling one.
