Late model 5speed, whats mods needed?
My buddy has a 5 speed that came out of a 90's camero with an LT1.
I can get this thing really cheap and I was curious what needed to put it in my car?
I have not taken any measurements but it looks to be real close in size however the bolt holes for the bell housing looks off but that could just be me.
I understand that this swap puts the shifter a little further back but if we are talking an inch or two that's not a problem.
Who has done this?
What did you have to do to make it work?

I wouldn't trust a T5 behind the engine in your signature, anyhow. The strongest T5s are rated to 330lbft.
I have a TKO in mine, rated to 600lb-ft. If I was starting from scratch, though, I'd go with a T56.
