Seem to remember someone did, but can't find any info here or on ISSF.

TBI= 5 speed.... They don't have the power to run that 6th gear on a T56. Haha.

You must be a prophet Jim. Smile

LOL , juevenile TBI comments!
oh well aint gonna bother me , my wagon not for racing its for cruising , besides ive always been told slow and steady wins the race , anyways ,lol , naw ive got other toys for speed and racing , just figured a 5 or 6 speed would add to the cruising factor for me , if would be fun to change gears in the wagon .
figured somebody might have some info on it or something , guy told me that he has seen one t56 6speed in a tbi car. car got sold and guy never did a wright up on it , not sure if that is true but thats what i was told

A '91 OCC with a 350 TBI and T56 has been for sale on the ISSF since October, he says "The car is a blast to drive!!!" so it must go.

I want that car, too bad I have to eat and pay for the house and kid in college. Crying or Very sad

6 Speed wagon is fun for a toy,. but would get annoying as a daily driver, i had the family in the blue car a couple of times, and late at nite coming home, i,d have to drive as softly as i could,. not to mention it,s annoying to drive around town with a stick shift,.if you plan on drag racing, an auto is usually quicker,.the 6 speed is fun around an autocross, or roadcourse tho,.fuel mileage usually suffers because unless you have a good tune,. people just naturally seem to hold the gear longer than the auto would,.and press the fuel a little harder to feel the direct drive "push" in the sotp.

Any of the TBIs can pull 6th gear with a 5.56 or better gear!

Steve has a set of 4.11 gears in his. (the one for sale) He has also done a lot of mods to the engine. He is probably making 250-300 HP.
