Here's my S-10 T5 with the Mustang hybrid shifter.
The Mustang shifter assembly bolts to the extension housing with 4 bolts, so does the S-10. THe difference is, the mount for the Mustang shifter...
I just finished converting a electronic speedo S-10 to a mechanical speedo S-10. You'll need the mech. speedo extension housing, because the...
I know the stock 235 used an adapter plate to fit it to the cast 'glide. I'm not sure if the V-8 used an adapter or not. My suggestion, put the...
Depending on what you've got planned, you might want to consider the WC T-5. Find one out of a V-8 Camaro. Over-drive is nice if you plan on...
Do whatever it takes to buy it all. There's a fortune there in old tin.
The big thing to remember with ANY engine is to clean the threads so you get the proper torque on the bolt. For example, if you have a threaded...
I'm not 100% certain, but I think the '54 PG rear was 3.73. Not sure about the splined shaft, but other than that it should be a pretty simple...
It just so happens that I've got the front clip off of my chev, so I thought I'd get some better pictures of my mounts for you. Hope these help....

I don't see a problem with it. You'll have the pride in doing it yourself.
Go to your local Ace Hardware and get some Friction Tape. The Ace part # is 30983.
As much as I love a stovebolt, I'd have to vote Polysphere just because they're somewhat unique.
Another way to remove rusty bolts is to use bee's wax. It'll only work if you can apply heat to the bolt. The trick is to get the bolt good and...
In the upper right corner of the last picture, there's a tin ring with a tang, and a pair of screws. Those pieces go on the back of the steering...
Here you go. The spring and button goes in the steering wheel, then the tin plate, then the plastic ring. Next, the horn ring goes on with the...
The major design flaw in a 235/ 261 is the cylinder head. The best improvements will come from cleaning up the ports, and improving the bowl on...
Is there something wrong with your upper control arm pins? Why do you want to remove them? This is the same front suspension that Chevrolet used...
I'm running a 261 with Clifford split headers. When I first put the car together, I was running 1 3/4" pipes with Smitty's and 18" echo cans. It...
Good score. About 8 years ago I landed a complete '58 392, and enough pieces to build one more, plus all the parts (minus a block) to build a...
If I remember right, the pass. car bellhousing has a different trans. mounting pattern than the truck does (car is smaller). The truck bellhousing...
The saginaw 4 speed is a common swap. The S-10 T-5 also works well. Both of them will bolt to the truck bellhousing. As for differentials, the...
Something smells rotten in Denmark.
FYI, it's always a good idea to start off with an intro. After that, there are plenty of people that will be willing to help out.
Looks good! Should have sat on it for a while, I think Tech. Week is coming up.
I can't think of the name of the place, but there's an outfit that restores gauges, they're the same place that can convert 6 volt gauges to 12...
Blue steelies with bullet caps and chrome lug nuts, wrapped in wide whites.
I had cracked both side windows in my '54. The problem was a combination of bad window channel, no fuzzies, and mis-aligned doors (SLAMM!!). new...
Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I just wanted to mention that they have a greatest hits cd coming out soon. I've also heard talk of a new...
Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Monday). I'll be there. I got to see them at The Rave, in Milwaukee, a few years back- before they lost Dennis. Man,...
