Got the T5 tranny installed - Speedway rocks!

I'm pretty damn impressed with this 239 flathead to 84' Chevy T5 adapter setup I got from Speedway motors. Only problem was that I had to switch everything over to a 10.5" clutch. The stock 11" doesn't fit inside the adapter with the counterweights. Other than that, everything went fine, and even hooked the clutch straight up to it. I'll post a picture of the rear support we made soon. I think we are going to use as much of the Chevy drive shaft as we can, and weld on the Ford u-joint right at the rear diff.

Hey I'd love to see some photos,

I was leaning on doing this myself but since rebuild my o'l 3speed.

My 51 threw the driveshaft back in may, I had a local Napa machine shop redo, it was $ 200.16 total for new shaft (using my ends, but entire new pipe) and new u-joints.

Please post some photos!

Thanks!!
