    I did find out the S10 was WC from 89 till 97 . Most likely the tail shafts should be close on quite a few.

    Great info and pictures.

    I've heard different stories on the swap but these are the first pictures I've seen.

    I have a 63 Falcon I am dropping a 68 302 into soon, but haven't decided what tranny to use, an auto or standard. I have a 60's Ford galaxie 3 speed, but wanted something with overdrive and that T-5 setup may convince me to keep the fun in it with a stick shift.
