Just a comment....may or may not apply in this case.

I have a f150 five speed transmission I was planning to use in the 39 studebaker truck. Turns out there is not nearly enough room for it around the bellhousing with its massive 14"d clutch and flywheel....so if using any american made flywheel and clutch be sure to check carefully the clearance around the bell housing.
