I have read a ton of info on this build and cannot nail down the details. I am sure you guys have seen this quite a bit so I am hoping you can point me in the right direction.



I got a 56 F100 292 Yblock and I want to replace the current 3 speed with a more modern 3 speed from a 80's pickup. I have the yblock bellhousing from the 3 speed and all accessories.



I have read you need to cut up to 3/8" off this input shaft on this transmission to get it to work with the y block bellhousing but besides that it should bolt right together?



Questions:



Is the above thoughts accurate?

What bearing, clutch pressure plate do I use with this? I have all the stuff from the yblock and it is virtually brand new.

Anything I a missing?



Any links, builds or thought would be amazing. I am posting a pic of the transmission I am using.



Thanks,



Craig
