    Is there any body that has done a T5 tranny behind a 235? I am looking into doing this in a 50 chevy pickup. The main thing i dont know is the clutch setup. any help please
     
  2. Probably should use the search feature on this one.... Someone asks about it about once a month. There's at least one page on the net dedicated to this swap in a 47-54 pickup, too, if you google it.

    In the pickup I think all you need is to shorten the input shaft and run an Astro Van 10" clutch disc, plus alter or fab the rear mount. Seems like you can use the stock clutch behind any 235 application.
