I just purchased an 84 trans am.
I had 2 different ones when they were new.
Anyway, I’m planning an engine swap with tranny. 2 questions.
First, can it be converted to stick?
Just a thought as my first one purchased new in 84 had the dreaded t5 tranny that blew up at 50k.
I still loved that car.
Second, if I stick with the auto which I expect to, can I put a T350 or 400 in with no major mods.
The motor in this car is a not computer motor so I’m thinking of the 350 swap from Jegs with the tranny and leaving it noncomputer controlled.
What are your thoughts?
I haven’t done this type of thing for 40 yrs so I’m a little out of the loop on what can be done.
Thanks
