I just got finished with a T5 swap into my '54, and boy what a difference. It's great! So here's some info, for those of you who want to know. I did all the neccessary shorting of the input shaft and the front snout on the trans, like the tech articles state. Here's the great part. I have a 10 in. flywheel and press plate, so instead of using a Vega, Camaro, or a Astro Van disc, my clutch guy sold me a 9 1/2 in. early model S10 disc. He said "Trust me, it will hook up better than a 10 in. They used to put a 10 in in early model Camaros, that came with a 11 in set up for the same reason. I can build you a special disc, but you'll be wasting your money". You learn something every day. I just thought I would share this with all the great Bolters here.
