I've got one in my 63' behind the 230 inline 6.

I moved the cross member and shortened the driveshaft. It also needed a different yoke, It had less splines. You should get that matched up before you install. That way you can bring the transmission with you to the machine shop. I got lucky, after calling every local part store and getting nowhere, I called the NAPA in Eunice. They make driveshaft's there. The guy in the back were able to figure out what I needed and make up and balance my driveshaft.

I like it. Now I can go 75 on the interstate.
