" The SVO T5 setup that is currently behind my '70 390 - wouldn't that be

yup.  if you stick with f.i. you'll need to do something about the
cps, which normally sits on the bell.  and one of the motor mount
holes, unused in jeeps, was co-opted for the knock sensor so you'll
have to find a metric bolt [10mm?  12mm?] and ream the bracket.

" The 390 car is down for a full resto, and if the engine comes out the
" way I envision, it'll be too strong for the T5 anyway, so might need to
" go back to a T10.

if the 390's being built up any, a better choice may be a ford
toploader.  use a late-'70s t150 or multipattern bell, pilot bushing,
and t.o. bearing, and a ford clutch disk.  the garden variety
short-tailshaft toploader is a drop-in swap for the t150, which is a
ford 3sp in the same family anyway.
