Chevrolet Camaro 1967-2002 - 1985

maybe getting a 1985 camaro. it a v6 automatic and i wanna put a 350 with a manual tans in it. wonder if anyone has done this and how hard would it be to convert

It's not hard especially if it's a 350 carb with a saginaw or T-5 manual trans. Problem is it's a COMPLETE waste of time and money as for what you'd spend on an engine, trans, and additional components like front springs, fuel lines, etc, would cost you more than if you went and bought a stock 350 TPI powered 87-90 IROC or 91-92 350 Z28. You could probably also swing a 93-95 Z28 with a 6spd for the same money.

Also in the end you'd never recover even half of what you had spent on it.

My advice, don't do it and look for a V8 powered (no 305s) 78-81 if you want carbureated, or 87-97 If you want fuel injection.

Junkyard 350, might be cost effective, but not fast.

It has been done many times. Check some 3rd gen web sites.

ls ftw!
jy 350 will be slow. period.
unless you drop another few grand into it

I'd do an LSX swap. :devil:
