I have a set of manuals available. Original parts book and a reprint of the shop manual. Both are in excellent condition. Asking $60. shipped to the lower 48

So I admit I have no experience with the S10 trany, but in my opinion, gearing with this Tremec World Class is perfect for a full size car. I definitely would not want a lower 1st gear unless your application was going to be a truck with an occasional stump pulling!!

Yes it is. Not sure what it came out of, a good friend and machinist built it for me. Will ask next time I see him

So the B&M shifter is in, unfortunately it has the 5/8 bolt spacing for the stick. No shift sticks to be found, so I made an adapter and was able to use a Hurst stick I had laying around. The 2" S bracket that came with it was a must to clear the seat. Ended up being a little busier than I...

So ran the cheapy shifter for a week or so and determined all my work is a go. Trany shifted fine, and gearing is perfect for my application. Shifter did it's job, but there's a reason it's a $30. unit

This is the only option like your referring to that I could find. In my case, would have required extensive modifying to the tunnel, and stupid expensive. Probably better suited for a street rod application

After being home from my trip for a week, a little progress has been made. Trany is in for good, a new crossmember was fabricated for both the tail shaft and the emergency brake cable. A new driveline is being made, hoping it's done this week. My world class trany had the 5 degree tilt to it...

Thanks DD, thinking of removing the chunk with the 3 holes just to allow more adj for drive shaft angle after it's in. But really think cutting out the center of that cross member is the way to go, but will bolt it back in afterwards incase it needs to be removed down the road. Gotta think...

Totally agree on the built in stops, even though I rarely power shift my cars anymore. So this outfit I shared offers their shifters with or without the stops. I'm leaning towards them because of the multiple options regarding stick locations. I did read the B&M link, good info there. Looked...

This is in a '56 with a 292. Picture of his shifter in relation with seat. He used a B&M "Ripper" shifter with an "S" shaped, 2" offset for the stick (forward or back). He set it so it moved the stick 2" forward and installed a Hurst curved stick! Just a couple of encouraging tid-bits! DD...

Thanks so much DD, it has been fun, especially as the parts are coming in and the assembly is close. So yes, 28 tooth yoke is coming, and your spot on regarding the driveshaft being 3" short. Probably looking at a whole new shaft. Your suggestions on shifters is right on, hoping I don't need to...

I do appreciate the advice, but lucky for me, I married a true hot rodder. Always have something in the oven, a car, cycle part or firearm apart in the bar area. She drives a 52 Chevy as a daily driver. Loves firearms, helps me make beer, Got a good one!!

Definitely looks interesting ! And your right about those tail shafts! I did check and my first gear is 3.35. Parts are coming in, in the next few days, so I'm excited to see how the pieces all fall together. Flywheel is in the freezer and ring gear will be going in the oven. Hoping it just falls on

Great stuff here!! Thanks so much! Was thinking I should be able to count the spins, but this explains it in detail. I don't have any kind of shifter yet, except the takeoff from my TKO-600. Maybe I can make it work for this test....... Will try. I did read all I could on the MDL site and...

So I was told it was the V8 version, but unfortunately, the tag is missing, so no real idea. The previous owner of my 55 was fairly knowledgeable , so hoping the right decision was made. Not sure on the rear end, but counting driveline revolutions, it's around 3.90 Future project is a 9", so a...

Thank you much Coop! Your advice is greatly appreciated. First to admit, this is my first dealings with a T5 instal, although I did instal a TKO-600 in my 55 3100 a few years back. My delivery came with a 11" flywheel, clutch and pressure plate and the trany. I did research it as a Mustang V8...

Thanks V8Coopman, that's a good option to have if needed. Currently waiting on parts to get the bell housing and adapter in place, going to take some good measurements and go from there. Rough measurements while still assembled with the stock stuff are showing me the shifter is falling just in...

Thank you much! I sent you an e-mail

Thank you much, but I'm thinking it should be the same as a regular sedan. Engine and trany sit in the same location, am I missing something?
