RE: I've done...

Pete this is great advice and offers a great combination, i.e., wide ratio/2.76 low gear toploader easily bolted to an FE without need for inpurt shaft modification.

You're right that the pickup/truck stick FE bells are readily available. I think I have a couple laying around that I've never given much thought to. But I am now!

I don't think the ribbed/pickup truck bellhousing will fit a unibody application properly. I "think" there will be interference with the firewall of the unibody 'stang/coug/'lane/comet, etc. And I know the pick up/truck bell does not have the casting provision on the left side to accept the pivot ball/stud necessary for the equalizer shaft on a '65 & later full size Merc/Ford.

But the pickup bell might work well on a '64 & earlier full size car. Very interesting. I'm going to do your measurement test tomorrow with a '60 FE car stick bell and one of those PU bells. I know the trans bolt patterns are different but the idea of being able to easily run a small block 2.76 toploader or even a 3.03 small block top loader 3 speed with an 11 1/2" clutch is an interesting possiblity.

Again, great information, thanks.
