Hey, im new to doing forums like this but i wanted to give you my input. i have a 1961 chevy apache 20 with a 305 v8 and i just had jim sibley of deer park washington do a t5 s10 tranny swap on it. there is a lot of little tedious things that we ran in to but when it was all said and done, it was a thousand times better than the ch465 3 speed with granny that was originally in it. i recommend doing it, as long as you have the know how and tools though. -Ray
