The T-96 is a very weak transmission. I sheared teeth off of a
newly-built T-96 with a 232 in my '63 Classic wagon, cresting a very
steep hill. I was in gear, not clutching, and teeth went pop-pop-pop
from straight-up torque.

It's sized for a 196 in an early American and nothing more.

I have a T-96/OD and underdash pull cable thingie, here in Los Angeles
if anyone needs one. Make an offer, or trade.
