Hello Inliners!
This is my 1st post. I am building a 1965 Chevy C10 1/2 ton truck. It's not ready for the road yet, but it has a freshened up 250ci - so yes, I really am an inliner!

I just completed a T5 rebuild and Camaro T5 - S10 conversion. The tech tip article on this website was instrumental in my decision making process.

I want to share my T5 rebuild here so that others can see what can be done. My BLOG has detailed photos of the rebuild. I started with a 1984 NWC Camaro T5. I replaced the Camaro main shaft with the S10 main shaft. That moved the drive gear to the proper location to match the S10 driven gear location. I could have used the shim idea as mentioned in the Inliners Tech Article, but swapping the main shaft was easier.

My final result is a completely rebuilt NWC V8 Camaro T5 with a 2.95 1st gear and 0.73 5th gear. It has an S10 cable speedo output tail housing. It's all Borg Warner stuff plus a rebuild kit including all new bearings and seals. It will bolt up to my 250ci L6 cast iron bell housing without the need for an adapter plate.

I spent a lot of time taking clear photos of the rebuild process and I hope you enjoy what you see. Here are a few samples.

Why I used the S10 main shaft instead of the Camaro main shaft

Great Info and it should be turned over to the Web master and have Him put it into Our Tech Tips.

I'm in the process of building a NWC T5 rebuild walkthrough on my website. Still under construction.
