Mine is out of a '85 Chevy 2.8l S-10. I used an 11" clutch for a '87 4.3 Astro Van, fit like a charm in the stock bellhousing, with a stock pressure plate.

I'm actually the third guy in my group to do this swap, one was in a '51 Chevy SWB truck, the other a '54 Chevy car. Another one of my buddies is putting one in his '68 Chevy SWB. Easy as pie!!

Any of the '83-'86(???) S-10 T-5s work good, just make sure you get one with a mechanical speedo drive. There is a great article on stovebolt.com. The Camaro ones are similar, but the shifter is located farther back on the tailshaft.
