Yeah, t-tops and convertibles really hurt the rigidity of the car(no matter what make or body). I had a bunch of 1st gen convertible Camaros before I finally bought a hard top and it was a huge difference. My 96 SS hardtop also felt a lot better than my current 00 SS with t-tops. The only 5 speed that might be worth putting in behind a 383 would be the TKO. The stock GM 5 speeds won't last long behind a 383 with any amount of power.
