Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Advice on manual transmission and adapters?

Hello,

I am having a hard time trying to sort out a transmission upgrade for my ´59 gmc 270.

I understand that an 80's T5 from a S10 vill bolt to my current bellhousing, which is great, only problem is that here in Sweden there are virtually no S10's from that vintage (believe S10 made it's debute here in 1994)

So.. here's my idea:
Buy a transmission adapter for a th350/th700r4 (Buffalo Ent. or Larrowe) and then get a NV3500 bolted to the adapter..

Anyone taken this path before?
I know it's asking for trouble using all sorts of adapters, but i'm at roads end. really wanna keep the 270 with a sync. OD manual transmission in the 38 Chevy Coupe.

Thanks
Fred
