World Class T5 from a 4th gen V6 Camaro with custom bellhousing adapter plate
C4 Corvette aluminum driveshaft
S-10 7.5" 10 bolt with a g-body limited slip center section and 4.11 gears

The 305 was free and with the go fast parts and some homegrown head porting and rod grinding it has been a reliable hard working engine that loves to rev right up to 7,000 RPM. My truck is on a modified '84 S-10 extended cab frame so I originally used the S-10 T5. It lasted a few thousand miles before the clutch drops and power shifting caused it to grenade in 3rd gear.

If you are interested there are more details and some YouTube videos here
