that shifter isn't the one I'm going to be using, that was a "do'h!" moment, the action of the shifter is to close to the drive shaft for it to work properly.

Ok, but that still doesn't answer the question of what it's going in.
All I can think of is one of those Lotus look alike things that Ridge keeps drooling over.

The 94-95 S10 2.2L has the 60 degree bolt pattern with the starter pocket on the drivers side. Same as the 3800 V6. It also takes the Ford pattern T5. That's it on the left.

the real question is, now to mate a ford T5 up to a 60degv6, with clutch and flywheel in working order.

Actually, the Camaro\Firebird T5 from those years HAVE the Ford T5 pattern. Just plug it in an go.

but doesn't the Ford T5 have a different input shaft length, diameter and spline count?

Yes. they do. Possibly a disc from a small V6 Ford car, like a 3.8 or something like that might have a disc that would work.

I'd go a T5 from a Chevy if I was mating to a 60 deg V6.
If I needed to mate a Ford build T5 to a 60 deg V6 I'd try the disc from a 85-88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe first. That disc is 9" diameter, so it should fit the S-10 pressure plate sized for the 9-1/8" Chevy disc, and has the right splines for the Ford T5.
Careful since the Ford T5s have three different length input shafts, you'd want the one from a V8 Mustang to get the right length for the Chevy bell housing. But that means you need a special pilot bearing for the crank, the Chevy pilots are 15 mm diameter, where the Ford Mustang T5 pilot is 17 mm. Like the other post said, use the bell from a 93 or 94 S-10 with 2.2L four cylinder.
