Ok..just scored a 1983 chevy s-10 complete truck 2.o L it does have a 4 speed manual transmission....i measure the 2 top bolts on the bell housing ...looks like 4" 1/2 center to center...looks the same bolt pattern as my 292 6 banner...not sure...was dark and flashlight batts going dead...has mechanical clutch linkage...what is this transmission....sorry no pics...im sure some here knows...tell me i scored big!!!

Yeah that should work. check the search option on this site if will have what other parts your gona need along with some ideas of how to go about it.

 

i got a funny feeling i don't need an adapter...im sure someone here knows the transmission i am talking about...is it a pre-t5 transmission

It is a T-4 Borg Warner. Not to good for hard launches, OK for a cruiser, but no overdrive means high revs, so not good for long trips. They don't handle alot of torque, thats why they were coupled to 2.0L 4-tech.

 

Not very strong and no overdrive...

 

I'll go along with the above advice, but the price is right. Put it in then if you want or need a T-5 it will drop right in, all the work was already done.

BTW, I'd use it.

 

will it bolt up to my 292 inliner or sbc

Since its first cousin, the T-5, usually needs minor mods to work on older Chevy engines (trimming down of pilot shaft and/or throwout collar), I imagine that you will need to go the same route with the T-4. Like some of the other guys already alluded to----why bother? The whole point of the excersize with a T-5 is to gain overdrive. I'd just bolt a Saginaw four speed to it before I'd use a T-4.

 

SO ANY LINKS WOULD BE APPRECIATED....ALL FACTS NO FICTION....AN EARLY T-4 IS NOTHING TO STICK ONES NOSE UP AT...................

Build your rod with the T4, find a T5 in the mean time, when the 4speed blows up, drop your T5 in it...It will be a direct bolt in.

 

I agree with Heathen. If you just want practice swapping out trannies, install the T-4. I am guessing you will be swapping to a T-5 pretty quick.

 

Really? What's so great about it?

 

it's free?

 

I guess I've just got a different prospective...when it comes to what transmission I'm going to use, I don't base the decision on what I can get for free.
