I wanted to use the M-22 Muncie transmission , The 67 stock bellhousing has the correct size output hole to fit the Muncie trans 68-72 don't without a spacer , So I bought a V8 manual trans crossmember off the parts board and removed the 6 crossmember and installed the V8 one ,That let me put the engine in the stock V8 position using the V8 mounts in the front holes like GM did . It all started with the engine /bellhousing and trans I already had . Project creep occurred .

I just decided to build my "last" new truck the way I wanted it without payments or computers .
