I went to my friendly local auto recycler today and asked if he had an S-10 T-5. The guy looked at me like I had just asked him if he had a Yenko Camaro on the shelf back there somewhere....
S-10s with a five speed were a dime a dozen around here. Are these transmissions hard to find or what?
I also asked about an S-10 rear end to bolt in my ride. He again looked at me like I was nuts.
So if I find these two items, will a T-5 and an S-10 rear end make my 46 a little faster? Is the route I should consider? By the way, I've read the T-5 articles in the tech. I am leaning this way, but need a little imput from ya'all.
Or should I go to a 3:55 gear out of the catalogs?
Another idea I read about here but no one jumped in on..How about an Explorer rear end with Discs? What is the width on that 8.8 dorF? Would and Exploder rear work on our old trucks...ya, I know, I don't like using enemy parts....but lots of old exploders in the U-pull up the road.
The goal is a daily driver that can make short sprints on the Interstate and stay out of the way on the fast divided highways.
