Hi
I am parting out a 1984/85 firebird 2.8 v6 5spd and wanted to know if I could use this trans behind a pontiac 400? Will the trans bolt up to the normal muncie bellhousing.? Is the input shaft the same? Thanks for any help!!!! |

The manual T5 trans used in 3rd-gen F-bodies is incredibly weak. They could hardly withstand the anemic 305 engines. This is why they weren't even offered with 350 TPI engines. The trans wouldn't last very long behind a Pontiac engine.
The bolt pattern on the bellhousing won't match up either. If you want to install a manual trans on your Pontiac engine you'll need to go with a 4-speed Muncie/Borg Warner T10 or a new Richmond 5 or 6-speed setup.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
