What is the last year that the S-10 had a T5 that will work with the available adaptors to mate with a Flathead? I have a lead on one from a '93 w/2.8 V6 and don't want to get too deep into the negotiations if it isn't right for a conversion.

The 93 is an exelent transmission, but has the Ford bolt pattern. Richard of Fla has one of thes style transmission in his 53 HT, very simple instillation IF you can find the aadapter that bolts to the stock 49-53 Flathead bell housing. It's just a small adapter plate and you use all the stock Ford clutch linkage.

It looks like the '93 up transmissions are world class, not that it is necessary for my use. Thanks to you both for the information.

I have adapter kits for the 85/92 Chevy bolt pattern trans and 93 up trans with the Ford bolt pattern. Been selling these conversions for over 15 years. The 93 up trans is beginning to catch on as the older ones get harder to find. Most of the time we can get you hooked to the stock clutch linkage but if not we have a hydraulic slave to run the clutch. 402-749-1932 Cornhusker Rod And Custom
