here are the pics of the transmission I made it started with a 95 Camaro wc t5 which uses a ford bell housing bolt pattern I went to the local junk yard found a nwc t5 with correct chevy bell housing bolt pattern I made the nwc transmission case into a wc case with some machining everyone said it could not be done I used all the internals from the Camaro trans

more the bearing bores had to be enlarged for the tapered bearings in a wc t5 the nwc t5 uses roller bearings and end play is not controlled as you can see in the last pic of what happens with to much end play in a t5 also had to drill and tap holes for bearing retainer on counter shaft
