Finally found what I think is the right motor for my M715, 1977 Ford 300 with a NP435 from a F250 with a divorced transfer case.

I've got the 230 and T98 out of the truck and started measuring, I think everything is going to fall together nicely without a ton of fab work, not that fab work is a concern.

The one spot where I'm feeling uncertain is clutch linkage. I don't mind mechanical clutch linkage but I do have an 80s Ford bellhousing for a hydraulic clutch.

I'm looking for suggestions/posts about clutch linkage with swapping other 6 cylinder motors, not the common chevy v8 swap, and suggestions for master cylinder setups if I go hydro.

Thanks
