    The fun thing with a project like that is that it all depends on your engine. With a Turbo 400 tanny you can get a direct fit tailshaft and just about anything driveline related to bolt straight up to it. Because its such a popular choice. Depending on the power your wanting to run I would go for a 4 link 9" ford diff setup. Its really up to you.

    If you want to. I know they manufacture mounts for the T400 transmission as well as the 300. check out these websites.
