What transmission with 350 V8 for drifting?

[ConnorRexilius]

So I'm about to swap a 350 Chevy small block into my 95 s14. And I'm wondering what a good transmission to use is. The car will be for drifting.

So far I have looked at a Muncie 465 but it has a ridiculous 6.5:1 first gear. Or a bw t10. I don't think a t5 could handle it, but a t56 is pretty expensive. Thoughts?

My thoughts? Don't be a cheap ass and why the hell did this need it's own thread...

But to answer your question, I need to ask you one. What 350 are you installing? A carbed old school heavy piece of shit? Or a new school worth a damn lsx?

[ConnorRexilius]

Old school. Out of an old truck and nearly stock. I couldn't find this thread already out there. Maybe one about an ls1 putting out twice the power, and everyone says slap a t56 on it and call it a day. I just don't have the money or need for that.

Old school carb piece of shit!?!?! Really....such a ignorant statement....t5 can hang just beef it up a little

easiest would be "top loader" type .
you probably dont need an overdrive trans.
so if its old school SBC - 4spd or 3spd bolts right up and are cheap. ulimited gear options.and cheap to rebuild.
you also have to look for what kind of clutches are available.and manual(cable) or hydraulic clutch.
