not trying to be a smart [censored] but what exactly did you do to the T5 besides rebuild it ????????
I took a 1984 Camaro T5 and modified it - something called an S10 conversion. I did it so the shifter would be closer to the engine. The Camaro T5 has the shifter location too far back and if used as is, the shifter would come up through the floor under the bench seat of my truck.
Not bragging, but my rebuild is a hybrid. I used the favorable gearing of a Camaro T5 and combined it with an S10 shifter location. I also used the S10 main shaft so the drive gear will be in the proper location for the cable speedo driven gear. That allows me to keep my 1965 instrument cluster.
I made the announcement to show other folks on this forum what can be done by combining a Camaro T5 with an S10 T5. I'm not the first person to do it. Many have done it before me, but I rarely see detailed photos that document the process.
I have no bragging rights and I sure don't want to be seen as blowing my own horn. Just thought that others who were considering the T5 as an option for their older truck would benefit from seeing the steps I used to accomplish it. I've outlined the major steps on my website.
