s-10 t5s are much the same as jeep ones, even use the same internals
some years -- but you don't need the whole tranny, just the tailshaft
housing.  put it on a 'stang t5 for a fwd shifter loc, that's what the
rodders do.  you might want the s-10 front bearing retainer too; amc
t5s [and their bells] have the smaller gm diameter, not the slightly
larger ford size, and it might save you some machine work.

if you want to keep your torque tube, you might be able to fab
something using a jeep t5 t/c adapter and a custom block adapting the
tt to the t/c pattern.  dunno if you'd be stuck for a speedo drive
though; i think jeeps drive it from the t/c.
