S10 t5 in 32 frame question

[Fatboy Tim]

I'm swapping the 3 speed in my 32 5 window for an S10 T5, Cornhusker adaptor seems the way to go.

Anyone got any photos of the K member cutting that was needed, I want to cut as little as possible?

Thanks for any advice.

I cut out the top portion of the center of the K member and trimmed the sides of the opening so the S10 ****** slipped in over the ball end of the stock wishbone. The lower portion "lip" of the K member sits between the front gear case and the lower "fin" of the S10 ******. I trimmed the fin btw - it's way too low to leave alone.

This works great except if you need to remove the ******, motor and trans come out as a unit and there is precious little room up front for the lower pulley to clear the front cross member on install/removal.

If you need any pics PM me your email address ... also check the link below for my build thread which shows a much more heavily modified k member that allows you to drop the ****** from underneath ...

This is my setup exactly - I just added a heavy strap across the top to replace support that had been lost .....
