Ken, I run an S10 T5 behind a 261 and just don't use 1st gear. Plenty of torque to start in second and the over drive is the big benefit. If I want to get across the intersection quick I can use first but I have to shift before I get across it. If you want an S10 T5 send me an email at chevyman1937@aol.com I have a spare one in the garage.
