" Found this while looking at a Ford Six page because of the discussion
" about using the 200/250 six in an early American, and Andrew bringing up
" the Aussie crossflow heads. One of the articles states that a Ford top
" loader to T-5 adapter from California Pony Cars. A search turned up a
" vendor that carries them (www.cjponyparts.com). Not cheap at $365, but
" adapters are available for early bells (64-66 -- should be T-96??) 

afaik all the adapters originated with 'hacksaw al', linked to at
http://www.fordsix.com/tech/index.php - unfortunately, he's out of the
biz and the pages are long gone.

i didn't get the adapter info but i did manage to save the bellhousing
pg before it vanished.  his dates are a little different - '60-5 for
the ford '2.77' [t96?] and '67 - mid-'70s for the '3.03' [aka t150],
with a few others scattered about.  maybe that '64-6 is for the
dagenham 4sp used briefly.

they added a second bellhousing pattern in '66, a slight variation on
the earlier, and there's a '66-7 bell used with a '4-bolt topcover'
tranny not otherwise identified.  he did say this bell is a little
taller than earlier ones.

i did catch that he sold his adapter line to a vendor, but neither of
them returned my emails.

" and "later early" bells (65-73, "top loader" pattern, also T-150).
" These are kits, not just the adapter, that include the crossmember and
" driveshaft yoke. The T-96 model would use the same u-joint as the early
" Fords, not sure about the T-150 u-joint.

wouldn't matter - just use the t150 yoke.  the output splines are the
same!

" The CPC link has an e-mail contact, but the site is "under construction"

since july 3rd!  what are they waiting for, carpenters?
