I am switching my 63 2dr sedan Lark with 259 3spd OD and dana 27 over
to a 4 speed with a dana 44. I already have the 44 in the car, now I
just need to put in the 4 speed. I have most of the parts from a 62
Hawk that used the chevy bolt pattern. I don't have the clutch
linkage. What problems might I run into? Would it be easier to use
the later ford bolt pattern tranny?

Thanks,
Nick

Yes because you would not to change and dial in the bell housing. You'll
still need a drive shaft and some special clutch linkage bits.
