T5 conversion to use in 66 f100.

[64 f100]

After looking everything over once I set the motor, I've decided the best thing is to convert the t5 with an S10 tailshaft. I need to know what all I need off an S10 transmission to make this work, and what is normal or how much can I get the parts for? Will any S10 tail work or does it have to be for the 4.3? Any does and don't , or does anyone know where I can get an article on how to do this. I have never taken a t5 apart before. Don't have any books that show how. I've considered buying one of the discs or books off evilbay for this, any suggestions?

Hello, anybody out there?

A lot of folks were at SS this weekend. Hopefully someone will have some info for this week. I'm interested in doing this as a future upgrade on my truck.

I have two tail shafts that I'm "fixin" to swap, so that info is appreciated.

It looks as if the biggest problem is the speedo gear on the tail shaft. It looks as if, you have to make a bushing to move the speedo gear to locate it on the shaft where needed. Besides the housing you will need the shifter rod from the cap.

I found a guy on the east coast that supplies parts for the t5. I used the s10 tail cover,shaft and overdrive gear he supplied and it all worked out. I also used alumnium tape to shim my son's gear and it seems to have worked out as welll
