" Anyone got a T89 or T86 or whatever it is in usable condition? I

you'll need the rare h/d bell also, since neither of these have the
same bolt pattern or input shaft length/spline as the t96.  nb. afaik
the t86 was the hd option.

" I wish the T96 wasn't so weak, but in a 3150 lb wagon with a
" 232 it would not be reliable.

if you lucked into a t14-o/d, that would fit the common t96 bell and
clutch, and with the t96-o/d tt adapter might just drop in.

you could also make yourself very popular by documenting that t14's
mainshaft and o/d adapter sufficiently to permit copies to be made.
