Having said all that I put a non world class 88 T-5 from a 4 cylinder S-10 in my '63 behind a 230 cid and it worked out fine until I blew out reverse gear today. If I had it to do over again I would either do exactly as I did or try to pick up a newer tranny with the electronic drive and change my speedo to match...I need new gauges anyway. | | |
