dont know if i told anyone this but an s 10 t5 transmission will bolt up to a 215 six. i did this conversion in my 52 f3 using a dwight bond conversion plate for a flathead. i reused the bellhousing and clutch from the ford and got a new 10 inch clutch plate. it works perfect and doesnot require the s 10 clutch. talk about a difference----a guy can keep up with traffic and cruise at 65 to 70 with the .72 overdrive. the original speedometer cable even fits the t5. it is sweet -----thanks again dwight
 
It stands to reason then that the same method would work for a 223. they are in the same engine family, correct?
 
Fordtruck52,

Do you have any pics of that conversion? I'm thinking it would work well in my Courier.
