Hi guys, I Wana hook a s10 t5 to my yblock. Can anyone give me some info how to do that do I use my original clutch or can I put the s10 one in and do all the linkages hook up? And what throw out bearing do I use and where is the best place to get an adaptor

Be a little careful about what model T-5 you have. The world class go to 300lb ft or thereabouts. The light duty ones that came behind 4cyl motors had lower ratings. A yblock will twist one of those apart in no time.

Thanks that's good to know!

Is there anything else you know about installing one

John Mummert does an adapter but not for the S10

Here is a list of T5 serial no.s
Check if the one you have will take the torque of a Y-block

Nice one slick
I have been wondering about the varied t5's available.
I'm pretty sure the early mustang models fit in with John's adaptor plate and the stick is then in the right place.

The T5 you want is a T-5z, '93 and earlier with 2.95:1 first and .63 od (serial 1352-251).  You will need an adapter plate-Y-block to Ford Mustang T5; rotated ccw to level the trans mount and a T-5/C4/Toploader/AOD/AOED 28 spline slip joint and a Ford T-5/TKO/C4/Toploader trans mount.  Also obtain a copy of Rob Bolzon's (aka "Canadian Hotrodder") article from the Novmber/December issue of Y Block Magazine.
Hope this helps.
