i would like to purchase a
1992 5.7L 350 t-tops 5-speed under 110k (spoiler would be cool to)
i could settle for 1991 or 5.0L 305 but i really want the 5-speed, no more auto sports cars for me!

If you find a 350/5spd combo just know that it won't be stock. Make sure that if the engine was changed that it is in fact a 350 and not a sales pitch.

Good luck.

Totally agree. There were NO, repeat NO stock configured 350ci (5.7L) and 5-speed combination cars. Ever. There were no exceptions.

If you find one that the owner/dealer says is a 350 engine, then get the casting number off of it (back of motor near the distributor opening, 8 digits if I recall correctly, and post it on here. We will be more than happy to help you decipher it. Also, if it is the original engine, the last 6 numbers of the VIN should be stamped into the front of the block, passenger side, just under the head mating surface.

Just out of curiosity, why a 92 specifically? Or settling for 91? Any reason for just those 2 years?

92 is the newest third gen so i would like that but 91 and 92 both have the 3 section rear lights and the ability to fit the spoiler, also 91 and 92 both have upgraded ground effects.

edit if i cant find a 350 with a 5-speed then a 305 will do.

There was a 92 B4C car for sale in the portland area, It might still be (check the for-sale section.)

Although it is an auto, its a B4C witch would make it worth it.
