I put an E475 Edsel engine into my 1955 Ford--------was able to get an bell housing from a speed shop to fit the back of the Lincoln style block (No sticks in the Lincolns) to my ford 3 speed top loader od trans ----------then I used the electric welder turned way up in amps to burn out a section of firewall so the engine could be moved back into the interior enough to get the oil pan sump to clear the crossmember-(gassers were allowed 10 % set back ) required removing heater and radio---------
