Technical S10 T5 to '53 Ford Victoria with 8BA help please...

A friend of mine has a '53 Ford Victoria with a 8BA V8 in it and we have a S10 T5 box to go in it.
We have acquired this bell housing which we were advised we would need but can someone help with what adapter and clutch disc we will need? the box has a 14 spline shaft.
Thanks

 

Speedwaymotors.com has a few different kits available. You will need the size of your current clutch pressure plate and disk size. 9" or10".

 

Info or links to info here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tech-ultimate-t-5-article.171291/

I'd have thought it might be simpler to work with the stamped steel Ford bellhousing though.

 

Is the 1953 EAB the same as a 8BA?

 

Basically yes.

 

I read somewhere that the EAB is more powerful but have not found any info to verify that

 

go to this site
http://www.wilcap.com/flathead.html they can help. Speedway...not so much. IMO

 

I used H&H for my kit.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I reckon we can get it sorted with all that information!

 

check out Cornhusker Rod & Custom here on the HAMB. Gary can assist with tech questions and provide any parts you need for the conversion.

 

+1 on Cornhusker. Gary will sell you just the adapter or up to a complete kit including clutch:
