ok i want a 5speed instead of a 4speed in my truck. I plan on doing a v8 swap later on but it is my daily driver for now. What transmissions will fit (borg-warner t5?). Also what speedo connections am i looking for? Thanks

You'll need to change transmissions with the engine swap anyways so why not just do the full job all at once.

Personally if I was going to do such a project I'd haul the motor and 5 speed (or even 6 speed) out of a Comaro and use that in there. Or even better if you can somehow get the drive train from a Vette

If you've got the room just buy a totaled unit (Not in a front end collision), and sell the parts that you don't want. You'll basicly break even when your finished

If your going to drag race it, you already have the right transmission(I assume you mean 4spd stick). But I agree with Overboard, an LS6 and a 6-shooter = NICE!! Even a 327 and a 5-speed would tear up the asphault...

Don't vettes put the trans on the rear end?

corning_d3

Yeah. There's a hollow drive shaft with no joints connecting the flywheel and the transmission.
