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.
