Yep. Your Muncie is pretty much exactly the same as the old T-10: same size and bolt pattern. You may have to change your clutch disc (depending on input shaft tooth count) and you may have to change your front driveshaft yoke. But it's a bolt in deal...the shifter will even stay in the exact same place.

I just did this so be careful, the shifter (at least hurst comp +) is different between the muncie and the BW.. The reverse arm that hangs down has to go forward 90 degrees for the muncie or it will hit the crossmember. Had to get a used one and have it rebuilt. Otherwise it works if you never have to back up LOL 
At least on a C2.

Check the OD of the bell housing transmission access hole and the diameter of the matching bearing housing on your trans. They may be a different size. I believe 1963 was the transition year.
DZAuto would know for sure..........and I KNOW this info is in the archives if you search.

Now, with that said, B-W T10 trannys had a 16-spline tail shaft and Muncies had a 27 spline tail shaft. Thus, to put a Muncie in a 59, it will also be necessary to swap the drive shaft yoke with a 27-spline yoke-------------------------TOO EASY!
Also, a shifter for a T10 can be used on a Muncie, BUUUUUUUUUUUT, a shift mounting plate and different levers for the shifter shafts will be needed.

Besides the yoke difference, the Muncie transmission mount on the tail will need a spacer, as the mount is forward of where the BW-T-10 mounting brace is fixed.
