KC, as mentioned before I have an 84 s-10 five speed from a 2.8 and it works fine, I do have a 2:73 rear out of an 85 blazer so I lost a little on take off not a whole lot though, at 65 I turn about 1600 in over drive, in fourth at about 60 it turns about 22oo, my 52 has a 54 235 in it, good luck with yours.....Fred
