: I have a block bellhousing and t-5 all lying
: around to mockup... my only concern is I
: must find a 240mm (9.5 inch) long input
: shaft.- I don't know what application these
: were found in? (Any ideas)-He said Buick???
: The t-5 I have lying around is out of an
: s-10 pickup. So we'll see what is left to do
: when it arrives... I'll keep you guys
: posted...thanks for the support

: Hey guys my 833od just gernaded tonight so I
: called up that castlemain Rodshop.- He said
: he had the kit in stock-includes adapter
: plate, thrust adapter ring and pilot
: bushing.- So i said what the heck i want to
: have my my cake and eat it too.. My car is a
: 74 dart swinger it weighs 3450# w/me in it.
: It run's 16.6 at 83mph. I have a 225 w/offy
: 4bbl 600 edelbrock, isky 265/465 cam, head
: milled .060 and mp performance valve
: springs. od 833 and 3.91 sure grip 8 1/4.
: hopefully the extra gear will help Next
: up after this will be a ported cylinder
: head- 15's here I come....

: keep us posted. I want to do the same thing to
: my cars. I'm working with a couple Mustang 5.0
: T5s. You should be able to measure the
: spigot/pilot adapter so it can be
: reproduced. I think the 5.0 shaft is about
: an inch shorter than the 833.

: What was the cost of the kit? I talked to them
: some time ago and they said that if someone
: was to order 10 of the kits that there would
: be a major price break. I'm not sure what
: major is? He said the kit cost $350 Aussie,
: but I don't know what that is in US. Maybe
: there is enough folks out there to join
: together and get the discount?

: Word is that you can use the 5.0 & S-10
: unit if you make and install a input shaft
: "nose" extension piece.
: I am told that the clutch disc splines are in
: the correct position for a Mopar conversion
: but the input shaft tip is shorter and made
: for a smaller pilot bushing. This can be
: resolved by a machined extension with the
: added length and OD for the Mopar pilot,
: combined with an ID to press-onto the
: current T-5's tip. (make it .002-.004
: undersize and then heat expand it befor
: pressing it on)
: This all makes sense and should work fine as
: long as everything spins "ture"
: when finished. ( there is no real load on
: this section of the shaft, it's just for
: location / support)
: If someone out there has the
: "lay-out" or measurments on this
: special tip, let us know.
