I have a '91 S10 2.5 4 cyl backed by a T-5. I'm kicking around the idea of a V8 swap. I know the bellhousing won't work but can the NWC 4 cyl T-5 be upgraded to World Class spec to handle a bone stock mild 350? Thanks.

Ed Hartnett is in the Philly area; his phone number is 610-623-9381

Another North Eastern T5 guy is Dave Reed, he's in CT and hes on here as well (Reed0380) His phone is: 203-265-6888

I've got new parts, no cores and we don't rebuild them either. PM me if I can help

T-5 upgrades

The gears in the 4-cyl or V-6 T-5 5-speeds are too frail and spindly to handle the torque and power of any V-8. You need a V-8 Camaro T-5 in either world class or non-world class (both have the same strength) and put the S-10 tail-housing on the back of it. It is more involved than that. Please feel free to call me at ********* ****** or PM me.
