to find out what size motor you got, try seeing if you can look at the block right behind the drivers head, like right above where the bellhousing bolts. it will say 5.0L or 5.7L.

It appears the motor may have been swapped, so i wouldnt be surprised if it was also converted to a 5spd. To tell what the car was, the 8th digit of the vin would be "f" for a 305tpi and "8" for a 350 tpi. If it is "8", then the car was converted to 5spd since like Koll said, 3rd gens never came with a 350/T5 combo.

In RPO's, LB9 is a 305 and L98 is a 350. GTA's did come with 3 possible engine combos as far as I know.... 305tpi/auto, 305tpi/manual, and 350tpi/auto.
