S10 V6 Transmission on V8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know it's not recommended to use a V6 trans on a V8, however, I have nothing else to use right now and this truck needs to be on the road again.

I am putting the 305 out of my old Camaro, and putting it into my '84 S10 that came with a 2.8L engine, 5speed manual.

Is the input shaft the same as on a V6 camaro? If so I know it will work with a V8. I have the V8 bellhousing, and after getting things apart it looks like I'll need a different clutch fork/slave cylinder. I think it's the slave anyway, the one that pushes on the fork.

Any info would be awesome! Thanks

Is it a Borg-Warner T-5? I have a copy of the specs for it as well as the T-5 that goes in the Camaro.

Any info is great. From what I've gathered so far... I need to use the Camaro Slave Cylinder, and modify it to fit the threaded s10 clutch line.... and need to use the camaro clutch fork, etc.

Also I think I have to grind the input shaft down aswell as the bearing sleave?

I found the newest literature from the company that bought out Tremec who bought out Borg-Warner.

Here's a service manual:
