Can somebody give me the skinny on what it takes to do this combo?

Ive got a '69 Commando V6 and a '63 Scout T-18. Is there a way to do this with out dropping big bucks on a kit?

Thanks in advance.

It's not very easy. The IH input shaft is the wrong size and the case doesn't have the external bosses that you need to mount to the 225 bellhousing.

What I did was to get a 2wd Ford T18 and swap the output shaft from the IH into it. I drilled and tapped the back of the ford case so that the scout tcase adaptor could be used. You also have to get the Ford Baring support machined to work with a GM throwout - I had Novak do that work.
