Its an inline 6 the th350 is not an option its either the glide or a 3 speed manual unfortunalty.
I guess its hit or miss with T-5s but Noel is rocking a S10 T5 behind his LT1 in his 67 Camaro and has had zero issues with it and beats on it which got me thinking since he bought my T56 that i could get that T5 for practically free as he has no use for it. The 350 i can get my hands on makes less power then Noels Camaro so i should be safe to put it behind it and with the 3.23s it should be a good combo that i can highway drive it without spinning to the moon.
The 2.73s might a bit better over the current gear but i know its going LS down the road and there is no sence is swapping it out again.
For a brief period of time I had a T5 in my 3rd gen with 3.42 AND 3.73 gears. I know not 3.23's but all that means is you'll be spinning less RPM's.
With a 245/50/16 tire, 3.73 gears and a WC-T5, going 120km/h i was at ~2000ish rpms. When I had 3.42's I was around 1800ish IIRC, definitely under 2k though.
Id imagine with 3.23's and a T5, you'll be around ~1500-1700ish rpms at 120.
If you can get a 350 cheap enough and a T5 for next to nothing, you'll have a lot more fun with your can then you are now with a 2-speed glide and the 6 cylinder.
