twotone,
Based on your reply and Lugnutz very informative Tech Article on his website,
"S10 T5 Transmission Jeep Shaft Swap - DIY and skip the adapter plate" I have
learned that I do Not have to use an Adapter Plate with my V8 Camaro T5.
My next hurdle is the rear-end. Since you informed me that an AD torque tube
rear-end can be converted to an open drive shaft rear end, my preferences at
present are as follows:
1) Begin a search for a 1955 1st series complete rear-end,
2)If no success, a 1955 2nd series thru 1959 and install pumpkin only in my '52 housing,
3) Or install complete 2) above rear-end.
I understand that all of these rear-ends will probably be 3.90s, so I hope to get
Lugnutz input on that ratio since he is running a 3.73.
