The picture below is a Camaro T5 with Jeep 4X4 tailshsft housing and tailshaft which we made-up to achieve the shortest T5 that can be assembled. It's shown here behind an 8BA flathead in a '35 Ford pick-up truck. Note the distance FORWARD of the bench seat riser. And yes, that's a torque tube bolted to the back of the T5.

Yup, that's exactly where mine is , and I used a complete T-5 out of an S-10.
