He say’s very clearly that he “has a chance to buy (cheap)” no need to ask why because he tells us.

You probably can use that setup as long as you stay in Iowa!

So, according to those gear ratios, you have a T-5 out of a Ford product, not an S-10. Am i correct?

Trans #1352-192 The web site says it is out of: GM 1989 S-Truck 2.8L V6 Only

Yep, you are correct. Ford also used those same ratios in some offerings. Usually 4 cylinder stuff.

The idea here is to get a trans with WHATEVER gear ratios you want, and then to swap the "S-10" tail shaft housing and short shift rod from an S-10 to move the shifter forward. It all bolts together! Only thing to consider is to make sure BOTH transmissions are either WC, or NWC (matching each other).
