There is a couple recent threads on the s10 t5...in this section.read thru them and check the tech tips section. Also a regular poster by the handle of lugnutz has done a ton of documentation on the t5 and has a lot of very good information. For a daily driver the t5 is a good conversion,and cheaper than the more expensive performance version. Also I have done the s10 t5 conversion...real quick overview..1954 chev 3100,235,stock with 2 BBC carb,gmc hei distributer.t5 with modified jeep 10 spline input shaft,93 safari van long wheel base drive shaft with a rear cross over ujoint To a12 bolt posi diff out of a 78 chev 4x4 suburban. Diff ratio is not ideal at 3.08 but does the job for now. Would like 3.73 or 3.55. I'm happy with it and would do it again without a second thought.
