This is an interesting thought. When WAS the last time anyone actually 
had a clutch blow? Earlier ch*vy's but I have not heard of a ford in a 
zillion years. Also, is the bolt pattern for a top loader the same as 
the tremec 3550? Ford has a nice aluminum bellhousing to fit the 5.0/302 
to that tranny.
