• Adapt the stock rear mount (at least I did)
• Get a speedometer cable for $12 at AutoZone

All you have to buy are a clutch disk and a speedometer drive gear!
Just asking: I have a Ford T-5 i was saving in case my "kid blew" the one out of his Mustang a few years ago. How elaborate would it be to adapt to a 59 A block?
