Well. . .depends what you want. Overdrive or not? If so, 700r4, it's a 4 speed with overdrive. If you want something bullet proof TH350. No overdrive. Do you want manual or auto. See what I mean?

The 350 and 400 transmissions are automatics and not 5-speeds. If you'd like to row through 5 gears you'll need to looka a T5 or T56 those are the standard transmisions for your camaro. Depending on what you mean with well build 350 motor, those two transmisions can take a lot of abuse the 400 even more then the 350 but as far as the 5-speeds go you'll need to get some posts from people with experience with them.....
