Ok...I'll need some imput from guys who have tried this swap. I got a T-5 from a 1986 V-6 camero. 1st. 4.03 2nd. 2.37 3rd. 1.49 4th. 1.00 5th. 0.76 I have a have a nova rearend with a 3.08 final drive.
With my 29 inch tires @ 70 mph the old 235 will be spinning @ 1900 RPM in 5th. gear.
At 55 MPH in 5th. gear the motor will be turning at 1500 RPM.
Would this be a good swap into the old truck as far running gears go? also would I have to do the astro van clutch deal with this as discribed in other part of this site? I thank you. Joe
