saginaw transmission

[metang]

i have a 4speed saginaw trans and would like to use on sbf but the bolt pattern is different from the bellhouseing i have. Any suggestions on how to use this transmission would be appreciated. Thanks

I am not aware of a solution for this using Ford parts.

I think Quicktime sells an adapter bellhousing to allow a GM-pattern trans to bolt to a SBF, but it is pretty pricey.

Obviously it would be easier to use a toploader as everything from clutch linkage to flywheels and clutches would then be OE or readily available aftermarket stuff.
