I just picked up this 226 today. It was out of a sprint car so it had an in/out box. Reading a bunch of mixed stuff, whats it take to put a toploader behind it?
That looks like the H-series engine. It should have a half bell that mounts to a standard 48 Ford style transmission. I know there are adapters to mount V8 Flathead to T5s and other manuals. One of those types will work. That's a nice 226 you got there. I'm jealous.
