Goldstar-
My T-5 from a 83 Camero weighs about 40-50 lbs, shifts like a champ, is aluminum, and will bolt right up. I used a 350 starter and a 10.5"
flywheel from a 230 (drilled out holes to 1/2") I also opted for a new centerforce clutch,plate, and bearing($150) Don't use old parts in a new installation! It's a pain to have to pull everything out to replace a used plate or bearing. Don't forget to have the flywheel resurfaced. That's very important to start fresh. The glaze that builds up on the flywheel can be almost invisible! Good Luck!
