Ok, talked to a guy in SC today, he hangs out on Stovebolt under the username Lugnutz. Very nice guy, and he set me correct in a few things about the transmission.

1) although the tag says a '93 when you look it up, it has a small insignia with a 5 in the center, so Jay said it was a '95. You can see the odd screw with a nut on it. That one is being stubborn. You can also see the 5 in the center of the flower design, what Jay referred tot it as. That designates a '95 Transmission evidently.



2) I will most likely need to make or get an adapter plate as this T5 has a Ford bolt pattern, Jay said GM did that after late '93, and there are adapter plates available, but $175. At least it will work.

3) I calculated the 5th gears wrong, and he thinks they could be .86, or .76 as I had originally thought, which is perfect for me, if it is. I need to verify the gears inside the case, but one of the screw/bolts is stuck. Soaking with PB Blaster as I type.
