They aren't cheap either. My buddy did a 94 CPI swap into his 88 S10 and used their bellhousing to bolt up the 5 speed to it. Now he just needs some help with the wiring for the VSS and VTC. He just bought the Painless wiring harness for it and those are the two things that have him stumped.

The Borg-Warner 5-speed from 4-cylinder and 2.8L engines can be bolted up to a V8 (with the right bellhousing) but it can't take the extra torque. Make sure to use the 5-speed from a 4.3L or do a 6-speed swap. Also many first gen S10's have the weaker 7 1/2" rears and need to be upgraded.
