http://www.v8monza.com/images/tech/trans/monza-trans-5spd-Chuck_.jpg http://www.5speeds.com/muncie.htm The T5 I had built is an S~10 housing but has camaro V8 gears inside.
I believe that IS the best way to go w/ these as borg warner made them w/ ALL completely interchangable parts. I have a better chance to handle any load and the HP
THE T5 WORKS ON MUSTANGS, JEEPS (4X4), CAMARO's && FIREBIRDS THAT HAVE HORSEPOWER !!!!!!!..... SO WHY WASTE THE $$$$ and BERATE THIS TRANNY and PUT IT IN YOUR TRUCK and BERATE IT AGAIN. WILL YOU NOT PUT IT IN AND HAVE IT WORK FOR YOU??? The T5 was made for S10's 4/6 cylinders and astro vans 4/6 cylinders AND V8'S If you buy one from a four cylinder and it fails working in your truck ..... don't give it a bad name when these trannies work on autos that have way more
Horse Power than your chevy does and still work.
Do your homework first.
