Will it bolt up okay to my 1958GMC 1/2ton bell housing?
Thanks,

(if the web site has it correct) http://www.britishv8.org/articles/borg-warner-t5-id-tags.htmThat might be a ford bolt pattern? I'm not sure without looking at it. I think Lugnutz comes on this board, if he does he will answer your question. In the mean time, look through his web site, he has spent a Sh** load of time putting it together and it is one of, if not the best reference sites going on the T5 http://lugnutz65chevystepside.weebly.com/t5-info-page.htmlJim

It actually has a Ford pattern on the trasmission, vs. the GM Muncie style. At the very least, you would need a Ford-Muncie adapter. Some of the early 90's F-bodies used the 26 spline shaft. You'll probably need the F body clutch disc and pressure plate if you go with it. Does it look like this? http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/w...ans2_zps71c6b402.png.html?sort=3&o=0 | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 643 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 643 | Yes , it looks like that on the input.

I will assume you have a Muncie pattern bell housing.
1993 was the last year the S10 T5 had a Muncie pattern case. I have owned several of the 1993 S10 T5s and all were world class with a VSS speedo output.
It is possible that it could be a Ford case pattern if GM switched during the later part of the 1993 production. You really want to avoid a Ford case pattern in my opinion. The cost to make it work with a Muncie bell is substantial.
You would have to decide what to do about the speedometer. A CABLE-X conversion box is an option to convert VSS to a cable output but it's expensive.
My advice is this:
If it has a Ford pattern case - then pass and look for a Muncie pattern T5.
Make sure your rear diff gear will work well with an OD gear. The chart lists the 1352-216 as a 0.76 OD which will work really well with a 3.73 or 3.90 diff.
Be persistent with your search for a 1988 or earlier S10 T5 because they have a cable speedo connection. I usually find about 3 per year but I am always on the hunt.
