I ended up finding the cast bell housing at a local flea market! score!

I got the swap done awhile ago, came out great.

I cut the floor hump out, and built a new bolt in floor hump by sectioning up some humps from the junkyard. I didn't want a hump as high as a high hump. The high humps don't leave a lot of footroom. So this one is just a little higher than a low hump model. The shift tower on the top of that sm465 actually comes up through the hole in the hump, but the boot covers it all up.

Built a long handled shifter, with a custom knob.

Got a new clutch fork boot. Reused the old clutch rod. New 12" flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing.

Got a new custom driveline made with a slip joint in it.


Thanks again for everyone's help.
