The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Picked up t170 for future use, have questions

I picked up a ford tremec 4 sp OD T170 transmission from a mid 80s truck yesterday.
I got it cheap and hope to use it in my 38 in the future.
I haven't checked the numbers yet but it probably doesn't have the best od ratio as it was mated to a 300 I6.
What do I need for a clutch, throw out bearing and pressure plate?
I am slowly rounding up all the parts that I will need.
Also what parts are need to convert the output to a torque tube drive shaft? Is there an adaptor plate that can be bought.
I know that it is not a stock question but I think people on this site understand how to do the conversions better than over on the hamb.
Thanks
