before you get married to the T5 maybe check the torque rating for the one you have and compare that to the torque output of the engine of choice. there are a couple of different T5 trans, some with a smaller input shaft than others, so it would suck to get it all together and then have the trans blow up on you. it may depend on the type of driving you do as well. fast starts, burnouts, dumping the clutch equals shorter life. also check the rating for the transfer case, just to be sure. otherwise you may be better off with an o/d auto. that would make a difference on the wiring harness you need possibly. the S10 T5 has a really low 1st gear I think too.
