You have several options.
First, make sure it has a Muncie pattern where it bolts to the bell (see photo).
The FORD pattern will NOT be a direct bolt on. For the S10 T5, they have a Muncie bolt pattern from 1993 and earlier. For the Camaro/Firebird, it's 1992 and earlier for the Muncie pattern.
Option#1. One way to go is to swap the S10 T5 input shaft for a Jeep T5 input shaft. Follow
THESE DIRECTIONS and the T5 will bolt directly to your current bell and you can use the 10 spline clutch disc you already have.
This is what I always recommend because it's a stronger shaft and it's cheaper than any other option.
Option#2. Just keep the S10 T5 input shaft and use an adapter plate (around $160). Then swap the clutch disc for a 14 spline clutch disc.
Option#3 Carefully lengthen the splines on the S10 input shaft. About 1/2" should be enough. Then trim the pilot tip of the input shaft. You will need to use a 14 spline clutch disc.
Option#4. Get a 14 spline clutch disc and grind out the back 1/4" of the clutch hub splines. That will allow the disc to travel along the S10 input shaft just a little bit more. No spacer plate needed.
1993 and earlier S10 T5 will have the correct Muncie bolt pattern.
An input shaft from a V8 Camaro T5 will NOT swap into any other T5. It only fits a V8 Camaro T5. If you have a T5 from a 4 cylinder car or truck, you just follow the options listed above.
Any T5 swap you make will require the following:
- Shortening the drive shaft
- possibly modifying the e-Brake setup you have.
- Trim the release bearing sleeve shorter.
