This is a similar method I used to install the T-5 in the roadster, The reason was the ability to go from early 59 blocks to 8BA style blocks and the hogs head makes this an easy to do this as the cluch linkeg and other parts remain the same, Also I use the Ford 8BA style water pumps with narrow belts and common pulleys so I only have to run one belt and an 8BA style distribtor on both engines. My biggest problen is te lack of money, so we do allot of scronging , I;ve just loooked at the cost of speed equipment like intakes and heads. I have a rare set id 49 Offy heads with the angled thermostat housongs. I even have the special housings. Maby I couls trad them for a new truck
