It makes sense that you would post a 3800 question in the 3800 sub forum. In terms of context I meant end goal of the build 600 horse track monster, 400 Frankenstein daily, etc....
I don’t know what qualifies as a more budget friendly platform than the LSx one. They are so readily available and the aftermarket for them is huge.
He drove it to work every day. full interior. street car. daily driver. You said LS isnt budget. it obviously is. you can make HUGE HP for dirt cheap. this was my example.
All I'm saying is you were incorrect. It is actually one of the easiest platforms to get big horsepower for cheap.
Back on track here. if you want to build the car you already have, the 3800. fine. But T-56 transmissions cost more than a whole LS engine which is ridiculous to me. it sucks. It's not hard to spend $2,000 on a used T56 and a nice clutch for it. It will be 100x better than the T-5 if you make any sort of power.
Was the recommendation to just buy an t56 equipped car already given?
whats pretty cool is you spend $2,500 on a T56 trans, clutch, flywheel, shifter, hydrualics and driveshaft to swap into a 3800 camaro and for $1,000 more you get an LS1 engine and a whole car! lol.
If I wanted an LS car, I'd have one already. I mean, fuck, I have an AWD V8 STS that will walk an LS camaro from a dig all day long, and I paid less for the STS than a T56 used and abused would cost me 
LS and/or T56 have nothing to do with this discussion, aside from the fact that the T56 is so overpriced that it actually makes sense to go to the trouble and cost to adapt some other 6-speed to a 3800.
Building up a motor and trans to be fast have nothing to do with the discussion.
Technical or enabling information on the TR-3160 or AY6 was the original point of the discussion.

i don't think that's a thing cuz they'd fo sho be parted out... engine's worth 2-3k, trans is worth at least a G, right?
Bought it in Michigan. it was like a 4 hour drive but he jumped on it the day it was posted on an Fbody facebook group. My other buddy paid $4,200 for his z28 and it was already modded with long tubes, exhaust, gear, new clutch.
This! They are out there and can be had for cheap if you know where to look making this a much more worth while than a swap if your goal is to have a manual.
