    I decided to put a T5 Tranny in my truck and get overdrive, and since the Motor is out...... may as well freshen it up as well.
    Man it was wore out, but still ran really good considering.
    Here is the Mock-up.
    i just wish now that I had jim Sibley's blower manifold.LOL :D

    What are you doing to use the T5? Any special kit?

    I don't have kit to use

    The 322" does not have as much available has the bigger Nails.
    I have an Offie bellhousing that is for an early ford tranny, then I added another offie adaptor to the back to take it to a Chevy pattern.

    It will have an 11" clutch and pressure plate.
    The only thing that I need is a clutch disc with the friction material move .500" forward on the splined hub to the flywheel surface.
    The t5 front shaft has a short splined area for the disc location.
    If I did not add the second adaptor that is .625" thick the clutch disc would be a standard item.
    If anyone knows of an off the shelf disc I can use or where to search i would appreciate it!
