Oz: yes, the T-10 bolts directly to the Packard clutch housing and the front bearing retainer also fits correctly. This is from a prior post sometime in the past by a member who's name I forget:

I believe I have cracked the code for the pilot bearing, which is .590" ID, 1.850" OD, and about .5" wide. In millimeters, that equals 15MM x 47MM x 13MM. Bearing #5-4712 is for some Mitsubisi alternators, and is: 15MM x 47MM x 14MM. It is a double sealed, ball bearing...
I found that the OD is correct, but that the ID is a little small and has to be reamed out. Another poster claimed that the input snout has to be shortened some, but I did not find that to be a problem.
The stock T-U crossmember has to be modified like shown on this page:
