    another option, is a Camaro/ Firebird T5, with the astro tailshaft.. S10/ Camaro tailshafts swap with the speedo gear relocated. so the Astro should swap also

    I'm pretty sure the Astro van T5 uses the Ford bolt pattern, thus would not be compatible the 3rd generation F body T5 in a swap. The 4th generation V6 T5 has the Ford pattern, but uses a 1 1/8" 26 spline input shaft.

    The '85 Astro we parted out had the Chev bolt pattern.
