84 LX V6 auto swap to 351 5 Speed manual?

[ryan7662]

I just got a 84 lx and was going to take its v6 and auto tranny out and swap in a carbureated 351 and world class t 5 into it. The only I have to is rebuild the motor and transmission and get a 750cfm edelbrock and put it on. I was thinking that I could just use my msd 6btm to run its ignition and put autometer speedometer and run a mechanical speedo gear. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a kit to install a mechanical speedo gear on a 95 gt's t-5 and what the procedure would entail. Again any info would be greatly appreciated.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or if there was another post about it. It looks to me that the crossmembers are interchangeable and I just get my 95's frp aluminum driveshaft cut down to size to fit the 84. The only thing I'm not sure about is if I can use the clutch pedal off the 95 or if I have to get a kit or something. I can just use my msd 6btm to run the ignition and a mechanical fuel pump to run the 351 without the use of the ecu. Another thing I wasn't sure about was how I could get the 95' t-5 electronic speedo to convert to a mechanical speedo to send a reading to a autometer speedometer/odometer. I'm not trying to rush ya'll into answer the post I just wanted to add some more info to make it a little bit clearer perhaps. And again any input would be greatly appreciated.

nobody huh, guess nobody knows how to do this. guess I'll just figure this one out on my own by trial and error seeing as how I couldn't find a post asking this question. maybe someone at hardcore50 might have an idea
