[1963c-10]

Another milestone done. Completed the shifter install kit to finally complete the trans assembly. Was just a miracle that I found a NOS Hurst mounting kit for the T-16 transmission. Hurst said it was only made for a few years with very low production since they were only used for a few years. Install kit was complete minus the shifter, which I had, so no biggie anyways. I have the install kit for a saginaw/muncie 3 also that I wont need anymore, so it'll end up in the classifieds. I'll post some pics of the Hurst Diagrams for the install kit tomorrow in case it'll help anyone else.

Anyways....heres the finished product. Factory V8 bellhousing converted to a hydraulic clutch mounted to the Borg Warner HD 3 speed (fully synchronized), and a hurst Master Shift to top it off. I have a Hurst boot to finish install in the cab. I used grade 8 bolts wherever possible and i'm satisfied with the end result. So now I can get back to dressing the engine and plumbing it.

One more note on the shifter mount. It bolts where the transmission tail mount is and goes around the tail shaft. Alot of the kits bolt to the main case using the tailshaft bolts. This shifter mount is solid.

Just FYI...the input shaft is 10 spline w/27spline on the tail shaft. Total transmission weight w/o fluid, bellhousing, novak kit & shifter is 92lbs
