Hey, Starting my rebuild with my son. We have a 1996 with 327 and about 400 hp. We have a T5 tranny that needs rebuilt but was thinking going to automatic. Which auto is best and will fit in the factory tranny housing?

 

How did your 1996 LT1 (Z28???) end up with a "327" and a "T5"? What modifications took it to "400 hp"?

 

maybe its a typo 1996 meant 1969???

although a T5 in that??

or OP read 327 which is cast on the LT1 5.7 CI motor...and maybe it was an auto converted to a manual using a T5....which will not handle the power of the LT1

 

Couldn’t have been too important - he signed off 2 minutes after the post, and has never signed back in. Hard to take this seriously.
