That style vss was still driven by a gear mounted on the output shaft. Don"t think ford went to a reluctor wheel on output until late 90's but I could be wrong. At any rate speedo drive gear can still be swapped for the right one and then use ford to gm adapter driven assembly.

Not sure if anyone knows Sly Vette on this forum, but he mentioned the jeep 'iron duke' bellhousing (which is basically what this is) on a very old thread, but looks like he hasnt been on here for a few years. Does anyone know if he is still around? I was hoping to pick his brain on this.

I'm taking pics as I go along, but I'm not fully installed yet. Did initial test fit and need about another 1/2" forward to fully seat tranny into pilot bushing. Will be making some adjustments and another test fit this weekend.
Give me a call if you want to compare notes.

Zero1Niner,
Not sure if this is applicable to your bellhousing but I found a manufacturer that sells a clutch kit made to mount a Ford tranny to a Chevy V8 bellhousing. I was suprised someone actually made this kit. It uses the pressure plate for a Chevy and a clutch disk for a Ford 28 spline.

Hey Jim. Yeah that would be great. My Trans is a 10 spline. Maybe they make one for my setup too. Do you have a link or a phone number you can post?
