new camaro

just bought 88 2.8 liter 5 speed and the fuel lines and tank has sand and gunk in them i need to know how hard it would be to change the tank and lines. i will eventually put a 350 in it but i cant right now cause i dont have a 5 or 6 speed trannie to match up with my 350. it has about 380 hp acorrding to desktop dyno. how much power will the factory 5 speed in the v6 handle if adapted for awhile until i find a stronger one

I doubt the V6 tranny would hold up at all to the torque of a 350...

As far as the tank goes, I have never did that job but its a good idea to replace the fuel pump while your doing that change...

Good luck/skill!

different bolt patterns on the bellhousing, they won't go together

the sixer trannies definitely will not hold up. the eights in the third gens only came with autos. if you want a stick you can either find someone to build the T5 you have or go get a T56 swap in...

Dropping the fuel tank and changing out the lines is not very hard at all. A little knowledge and a Chiltons should help. good luck txchevy!

the v8's in the 3rd gens also came with manual trannys
