I am almost embarrased to be asking this, but I am getting confused here. I have a mild 454 (circa 1984) and am looking to match it up to a 5 speed manual. My plan was to go with a 3rd gen camaro/firebird/iroc bell with a T5, but am realizing that a T5 might be too weak. I have also been looking at T56 6 speeds, but most of them came off a LS1 or LT1 motors. Which of these modern engines have interchangeable bellhousings that would bolt to my 454? Not sure what I should be shopping for...

Any other trans combo suggestions out there I should be looking at also?

thx guys
