The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Getting ready for a T5 purchase, have a few questions

Thanks much Jay,
I'll do that. I've talked to Tom Langdon in the past but gee...it has been a few years now. He's a friendly guy as I recall. I think I'll start with him. Any suggestions of what you'd look for to mate with a 235 (1959 year engine)? The rear end is a 12 bolt out of a 1969 Chevy pickup (3.07 ratio). I have a Saginaw 4 speed here (first gear ratio is 3.11). I replaced the front & rear seals, o-rings and the gears look very good in it, but while I'm doing all this I'd go for a T5 if a good one could be had and sell the 4 speed. For what it is worth we've owned the truck since 1977 and it has always had the stock 3 speed and closed rear end. It has not been lowered, altered, or anything like that and it does not see hard work.
