Yes that is an L98. The 350 and the 305 look identical from the outside except for casting numbers, however that is a true Formula350 with the stock L98 but has been converted from the 700R4 Auto to a T-5 manual trans. The L98 was not available with a 5spd because of the torque of the L98. Let me say.. it its FUN to drive. | |
