Re: [AMC-List] my 62 classic project

Dave, you can just use the extension housing and shifter from a S-10 T-5
and put that on a Mustang T-5. The parts interchange, but you have to
have both transmissions. I don't know if a 4.3L V-6 came with a five
speed, but that would be a good one to get the trans from if it's a T-5.
The trans tunnel shouldn't be a problem. Only one floor was made, and
since the OD trans is pretty big and will fit, the T-5 won't be a
problem.

From: d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx> 
is the floor pan a similar length in my 62 classic to use a 'stang
tranny with
tailhousing? i want to still be able to slide my seats forward, as it
makes the 
bed. all i have found s10 t5's for is the 4 cyl. im quite sure they are
real
weak arent they? they still are not much cheaper than a stang either.
i am
still unable to know what gear i might have in the axle now. someone
posted
gear for an o/d equiped. i guess they didnt read that i was a non o/d
putting
one in. it is a 62 classic custom, 196, 3 speed 2 door.

  i supose, if the tail shaft for a stang t5 puts the shifter back to
far, i
can modify the seats in the middle section, when i tear tem down to
reupholster 
them. make a gap on the front inner corner of them. its the 50/50 bench.
make
kinda a U shape right between them for the shifter i guess.
