I have read far too much about the swap and have myself a bit confused. Does the T5 bolt directly up to a 216 bellhousing from an early 50's Chevy 3100? I know there are also clutch issues but it seems they can be solved fairly easily.
Thanks,

I am in the process of doing the esact same thing to my '53. I have the tranny and just fitted it today. Yes, it bolts to the bellhousing. The mount holes just need to be drilled to 17/32. I haven't got to the clutch yet, but really doesn't seem like a problem to me either. I have the clutch out and my boss has parts books, one for clutches and I should be able to find a proper one easily.

Might have something to do with having a pregnant wife and desiging a new house. Let me know how the T-5 works out for you, my 3-spd is in rough shape so I might swap it.
