Mike 45678. Al answered most of yur questioons I think. There is more to it than just changing the bell housing and adding an adaptor plate. Bell housing are available from Macs or use a AA bell housing - as I did. The input shaft and the front bearing reatainer must be addresssed. Rear adaptor plate. Shift stick converted. Shorten the drive shaft, Radias rods and Torque tube. All this critical to within a fwe thousandsds of the inch.

I still do some of this work. Juts not kits.

The 26% came rom behind the Ford 302. The 37% came from behind the 6 cyl and the Ford 351. There is also a 41%, but I did not and will not use it - to high OD %
