How difficult would it be to convert to an open driveline setup from a 1955-59 vehicle? I realize that it would involve swapping the whole assembly from the bellhousing back, but those parts are available, and they're a few years newer that what's in there now. Isn't the later gear ratio usually a 3.90, also?
