I myself would prefer the T5, however look into a T5 Hybrid using the Camaro V8 front section and the S-10 rear which includes the shifter. That way you do not have to extend splines, or cut down the pilot or bearing carrier as GM has done that for you already. Another option would be a 3/8" spacer and then cut down the bearing carrier (or use one from the V6 camaro T5)
