Thanks for the direction, I just talked to them.
Looks as if I can get what I need.
Looks like I will put a 318 aluminum bell housing to my 270 with HotHeads adapter and aluminum flywheel, and connect the manual '55 clutch linkage and a 4 speed transmission. If I can find a 4 speed trans with the drum emergency brake then I won't need to swap out the '55 stock rear housing. Otherwise I will weed to source an 8 3/4 rear housing so as to have an emergency brake.
Does all this sound correct???

If No one comes from the future to stop you from doing it,
then how bad of a decision can it really be?
