The FOM was available from the factory behind the 223, so you need all the parts from a donor car, like bellhousing, flywheel, converter, trans, shift and throttle linkage, steering column, etc.  Don't forget to remove the pilot bushing from the crankshaft.

Skip, did you check out the latest issue of Legendary Fords? Nothing in there really to address your problem, but lots of neat info on Ford sixes.
