    I need Help!

    I have a rebuilt 401 Buick Nailhead and want to use it with a T5 Chev V-8 5 Speed Trans. Where can I get the bell housing, clutch & flywheel to do this? A hydraulic actuated clutch is OK with me and I think I can use the S-10 shifter with electronic output for an Autometer speedometer.

    Any advice/help would be appreciated......Hotrodon!

    I agree, you would have to baby it so much to keep the T5 alive that it wouldn't be any fun to drive.
