    They'll fit, it's free if you do it yourself.
    Mac VanPelt has a good book on it, so does Vern Tardel....

    Basically you use the case and replace all the innards with later parts. You will need a 39 or F1 double detent shifter tower and the wide fork to work with the later slider and syncros. Buy the book by Van Pelt, it will answer all your questions. Well worth the price.

    It is true -- Van Pelt is the early Ford tranny man.
