There are two versions of the trans out there: one has the Chevy bolt pattern, the other has a Mopar bolt pattern and requires the specific aluminum bellhousing that came with it. It also uses a specific Hurst shifter mechanism. There will be a story coming out in a future issue of Custom Classic Trucks with all the info on these transmissions.
I used the stock bellhousing in my '62, the Chevy-bolt pattern case, and had the trans rebuilt and the shifter rebuilt by Hurst--I LOVE it. Humps down the highway in the left lane, reeling in and passing everyone in the right lanes with little effort. It has a .72:1 overdrive.
