can i take a t5 wc from a 2wd s10 and put it behind a 350 in my firebird?

 

If I'm not mistaken, the T5 in an f-body is rotated at the bell housing, and the one from a 4.3 S-10 is not. If you get the correct bell housing, it may work, but I've been wrong before.

 

it dont come with a bellhousing, i figured that, what im conserned about is the torque arm mount and ive heard the v6 and v8 have diff spline input shafts

 

No they will not work the shifter is in different locations on the T5. You would have to change alot of pieces and parts out...

 

I would make sure you get a WC T5 from a V8. From what people say the V6 T5 won't last with a V8. I dont think they are even splined the same. Also I know they have many different T5s some are hydraulic and some are not. Flywheels will also be different model to model. Unless you know it will all work I would find a V8 car close to the same year you have at the junk yard and pull the whole setup. That would be a good start.

 

I have a rebuilt one from a v6 camaro but its a 93. It has never been ran at all or installed since the rebuild. It is set up with a 26 spine input shaft and a 2.74 first gear. it is the AOD style bellhousing mount so a aftermarket bellhousing would be needed...250 bucks

 

i found this on another thread
It can and has been done quite easily as long as it's a third gen 82-92 v6 trans with 14 spline input.

What you need:

V8 Bell housing
V8 pressure plate for 10.5" clutch
standard pilot bushing/bearing
standard fork
regular linkage or hydraulic setup
1" 14spline 10.5" clutch disc


The clutch disc can be ordered from www.advanceadapters.com PN#716104. on the left side of the page click clutch components and then clutch discs. Once the clutch discs page loads it's on page 2 second last part. $120.75

is it true you can reuse the clutch from the 2.8? the guy i bought the car from sd he used the clutch off his 2.8 and put it behind the 383 he droped in there and ran the t5, i just want the car to move and spin the tires a little bit, not lookin to drop a bunch of money on this engine and trans its not what is gonna stay in the car. im building a big block and want to build it right the first time.

also can you use the fork and bushings from the 2.8 set up? spied a 5sp 2.8 camero on top of the pile at a buddies scrap yard

 

is this s10 a stock 5spd?
if it is that tranny is a NewVeture5spd and will not work

 

this is now a 5 speed from a third gen 2.8 camero
