T5 gearboxes worth in the US?
Specifically what would WC T5 (Mustand, Camaro, Firebird) be worth and a NWC T5 be worth out of a S-10 pickup
I gather the WC are far stronger than the NWC but the NWC have an extention housing that leaves the shifter 10" closer to the bell housing.
So a few hot rods would require making one box outa the 2.
Just wondering what salvage yard prices would be on these?
They're not cheap here in fact so expensive i reckon it'd be cheaper getting them outa the states.
Thanks greatly in advance guys
cheers

In general, the NWC go for around $200 the WC for around $400, but as often happens there are times you can find them for less, and times they are more. And that's up here in our part of the states, other areas are probably a bit different.
I went looking last summer. I couldn't find any s-10's. The wc t5's that were good all brought around $500 and up. Those that were uncertain of condition brought around $150-200.
4-500 if in good condition in Canada
i found a S10 NWC for $150 a year or so ago. most of the others i found were more, but i don't need it right away so i could wait for deal. i'm stil looking for a WC for another project but again i can wait for the right deal.
