There are two 60 trans; passenger & commercial. The passenger trans is a tiny thing unique in all aspects to the 60. The commercial trans actually uses 85HP internals & shares many parts.

But a standard 85HP trans can be adapted - you just need to hole-saw a hole for the 60 starter bendix and fabricate a cover for it - something like a tuna can or cat food can works. And with that in mind, you can modify any of the adapters for the 85 as well, so you could put a T5 or any other adapter with the same modifications.
