RManson is right, sorry for the misinformation. It's the gears from the 'Stang T5 that are what you're after. Langdon Stovebolt in Michigan builds/built T5's with Camaro boxes, 'Stang gears, and the Sonoma/S10 tail shaft. As I understand it, the Ford gears are a little beefier, but in a daily driver the difference may not be worth the hassle.
