But the pre-64 Americans, it won't fit without substantial
hacking. A 69 T-14 will not fit in my 1963 four-mount
bellhousing; in addition to the driveshaft length (and lack of
OD...). Shifter linkage stuff, yeah, but those are relatively
straightforward mods. Then there's speedo cable issues...

six engine?
