i got this tonight for 300$ runs but needs a tune up 1984 firebird 305 with a t-5 i was gonna use it for the trans but i was looking under it and didn't see any rust and the quarters are solid all the rust you see is surface rust

wow not a bad pick up for $300 at all! You could still take the trans out for your other car and turn that one into a drag car

I bet it came with a full tank of gas as well! Where do you find these deals?
I will need a cheap car next fall. Shoot, I just paid 300 for four snow tires.
But seriously, if it were mine, I would NOT touch the exterior, drop in a cammed LS motor and Bam you have a nice sleeper!Last edited by bri2203; November 23rd, 2009, 11:07 PM.Comment

I wouldn't personally invest any time in a T-5 they are junk for holding any sort of power above stock.Doing less with more

yea im not doing anything to the engine in the firebird and my camaro has a stock 350 plus i dont have the money to change it i have been looking at a t-56 but i dont know how hard it will be to put inComment

A 350 tpi will destroy a T5, which is why all the TPI cars got the 700R4. Nice find, would make a nice driver...or you could paint it and sell it to make money for a T56 swap into your Camaro.

This is not totally true... T5's can be built stronger to hold up to a 350 very easily. Actually there is someone on this site I forget their username who actually has some power under the hood and pushing it with a T5 I will look for his thread. I believe he said he takes it to the track as well.Originally posted by Fbomb View Postsigpic

It won't be happening for long, do some research and not just take it from one person or car I assure you they are weak and not worth it.Doing less with more

True they are weak but just like anything else you can make stronger... Not saying it is worth it but I am saying it is possible.sigpic

I've heard the GM T5's are weak because of the case...that being said I suppose you could make it stronger by getting an aftermarket case. Apparently the ones on the Mustangs were stronger?
T56=double overdrive=better gas mileage. For some reason people are always surprised when they ask me if it's a five speed and I tell them it's six.
