Awesome video! However, you guys are insane balancing a 200lb 700R4 on a single point on a 3 ton floor jack. But it looks like Pops has turned a wrench or two and its not his first rodeo. Still, consider popping for $80 and getting the harbor freight small tranny jack!
@@mr.luckyracing7112 If you got enough oomft one can lift that 5 spd with another set of hands and get it in there. Used to do thart with muncies all the time. my 6 spd is heavy pig almot dropped it on my head a few times.
@@RoyFortheWin We had a manual center console and marked it out then took the plate that the shift sits in and used it as a template to make the correct cut
I drove with both automatic an a stick on a 3rd gen and I much prefer the five speed. Both 305 cars just TBI. 5-speed way more fun. They just didn't have the power to rip very well with the auto. Same thing with the foxes that aod in those were terrible! Felt like it was taking off in 2nd gear.
@@mr.luckyracing7112 Nice job! Drove a bunch of those when new. Shop I was apprenticing in did warranty work for the dealer up the st. THose cars drove super tight new. Little by little youll get yours there. All the talk abotu 80s cars being junk new is total BS.
i am about to do the same thing with my 73 pinto .. it has a 4.3 with turbo 350 .. i have a trans from a v8 camaro with flywheel and everything ,, are the flywheels the same size and same tooth count ,,
Sounds like a fun conversion that little pinto will rip with that 4.3. From an old guy (I guess.56) that was around when guy were trying to stuff sbf in them
Ah, I'm asking as I'm about to attempt this this weekend in a high school carpark. I'm in the UK too so im hoping I have all the parts. Can I asked what you did for the connections for the clutch pedal and reverse light? or the electrical connections in general ?@@mr.luckyracing7112
@@danpeake139 So this helped out a bunch but i had another rolling camaro that use to be a manual. I took the pedal assembly and master cylinder off it and it bolts right up to the other car. Other then that cut a hole in the center and your transmission just bolt right in!
Awesome, It sounds easy enough! although saying anything like that means its not going to be easy now. Thank you, Do you have other tricks or advice to make this a bit easier ?@@mr.luckyracing7112

Great video, love 3rd gen my first was. 87 firebird
My first car was an 82 camaro that i still have just needs a motor built. Hopefully one of these days i can get to it
You breezed rightt over the pedal swap..
Great video, I just did the same swap on my IROC. I'm try to get the speedometer and the reverse lights working. How did you fix it on yours?

Nice video. Great presentation and personality! How did you determine from above before you removed the transmission where the boot needed to be?

Totally agree always prefer 5 speed over an auto!
AOD in the stangs were way worse remember them brand new
All the auto TPIcars needed was a 2600 stall and 3.45 gears they would smoke em real easy

@@gordocarbo I agree 100% the aod choked those motors like no other somehow It didn't help that they saddled them with 273 gears

Yes they should be. That’s really neat. Good Luck with your project!

How much that is my dream car and it's a manual so it's perfect how much
@@JaredTowler-fp9bg this was my dads car when he turned 16 i don’t think there’s a number in the world he would sell it for
@mr.luckyracing7112 oh ok I understand
I took my brand new 76 transam and dropped a stick in it
Badass!
We did it to a freinds 79 in mid 80s HS
Had a muncie in it. That 403 though was the biggest turd of any V8 I drove
What’s up Luckys Racing
Hope you are enjoying the videos!
How long did this take you to do ?
We spent all winter on it, still have some thing i wanna do to it!

I went from a five speed to an automatic, and was the worst thing ever for the car.
I’ve always been a manual guy especially when it comes to hot rods!
Now did the transmission lines from the automatic fit directly to the 5 speed ?
So we had a parts car that we got the transmission and eveything from. Had to use the lines as well!
Lines? 5 spds dont use oil coolersjust plug them off

Your video would be much better without your face being on camera. Try holding the camera more on your project.
Should have kept the automatic.
Well we are basing this car around my dads car he had in high school. It was an 83 5 speed car. Or I would have
The 5 speed is a lot better and a lot more fun to drive
@@melissadunagan6596 I’m a 5 Speed guy can’t help it!
@@melissadunagan6596 It is in no way better, and in fact it's weak.
So is the 700r trans weak.
Htf did this guy skip the part about the clutch pedal & master cylinder?
I don't think the brake master cylinder is different but you do have to install a slave cylinder not a master cylinder...
