I know I have stated this before, the T-5 tranny is a good non-racing street tranny for GM inlines.
I know quite a few of you use it in your pickups with a bench seat, hence the S-10 forward mounted shifter. If you wanted to dump the bench seat and go with a nice pair of bucket seats, the 305/350 Camero T-5 is a bit stronger (handles more torque & HP) and the ratios are quite good.

Hooked to the back of my 1970 292, .040, 3x2 H/W,
is a 1993 Z-28 T-5 with a 2:95 1st gear and a .72 OD gear. It is backed by a 1968 Nova 10 bolt 8.2" stuffed with 3:55 Richmond gears and a posi. I run 15"x 8.5" rims with 30.5" tall tires. My tach reads 1850 rpms @ 65 mph!
