Its your truck. I would look for a transmission from an F150 or something though.. the 5M series are rather weak IMO.

You also have a pm.

All I can remember is its a Borg T-5 trans, I cant remember where he got the adapter.
Maybe something off a 89 ranger? the bell housing? It was something weird like that

S10 does not sound right. 2.9L or 2.8L Ranger seems like something he was rambling on about one time... could be wrong tho

You can now buy a 2005+ v6 mustang stick from a boneyard. Its a T5 with all the workings already there. Flywheel, bellhousing, starter.. You will still have to get your drive-shaft adjusted for it, but its a direct swap now.
