My mind is running loose this morning, and I'm wondering about building another truck. I've always wanted an AD style and was thinking of using a 250 6 cyl instead of 235/261. I understand the side engine mounts would be needed, and the aluminum bell housing with the transmission (t5) with rear mount would be used. The question I need answered is, would the original clutch linkage still work with the later bell housing? Would the original cross member have to be removed?

I know I shouldn't let my mind wander unsupervised but it happens sometime. I now have a headache. Any helpful ideas would be accepted.
