Default 96 C4 manual conversion

Hi Guys
Has anyone ever put a T10 with the Nash overdrive unit in a 9/596 model C4. My question is how to make the VSS in the old t-10 transmission work with the new wiring/car. Both have 2 wire electronic connections but the VSS unit is a completely different design. I can reprogram the ECU if I can get a any kind of signal from the drive shaft VSS. I'm just not sure what to do with wirers and if the systems are at all compatable.. Any kind of conversation kit would be great. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Serious question - why would you want the old 4+3 transmission? The ZF6 would be much easier to swap in, has overdrive gears built into it, and is much more reliable vs. the Nash overdrive unit.

Wouldn't that be like swapping in an old flathead into a Coyote Mustang?
