Jack...you are definitely correct in the attention to detail when putting these things together. Fortunately my father is an automotive machinist and mechanic and has massive experience with this. What he has found is that he has a 4 speed manual transmission out of an old Mustang II that is a perfect fit other then machining a little length off the snout that connects to the engine. I have a new Ford 9" rear end going in it as well. I have the luxury right now that the truck is at a bare frame level so we can work slowly and diligently on getting all the alignments etc. correct.
