I am thinking about changing out the motor in my sons truck (1960 F-100) from a 223 6cyl to a 292 out of a '55 Thunderbird from my father.  The truck currently has the 4 speed transmission with the hydraulic slave cylinder on it.  Can I use this transmission/bellhousing or do I need to swap it with a different bellhousing or are there adapters out there to make it work?  If this seems to be too much trouble, I may just keep the 223 and rebuild it, but would like to surprise him with a Y-Block V8 upgrade.

Thanks in advance
