Technical Will these gears, fit this case?

Looking for some of your accumulated wisdom here. I recently acquired an 8ba with an attached transmission, as shown in the 4 attached pictures. The gear set is in great condition, so I am wondering if it will all transplant into the spare 78(?) transmission housing I have.
If not, then is it a boat anchor ?
Thanks in advance

 

Maybe a call to @Mac VP would get you what you need to know.

 

No

 

I don't think so. The later trans has different cut helical gears. As a general rule, all the cases with the integral bellhousing will interchange, those with the separate bell will not

 

Just a sec. I see that the side cover has the bracket for the clutch linkage, which means it's from a shoebox Ford ('49-'51). Ford went to the new Diamond gears during the '51 model year. Chances are some of the gears may fit, but not everything (the mainshaft for example). It's a complicated subject, so getting in touch with Mac van Pelt is probably a good idea. Your other choice is to get up close and personal to a couple of "Green Bibles". The bottom line is that without a mainshaft, you wouldn't be that much ahead

 

I read years ago that some will; there was/is an in depth article in Ford Barn I think.
