Done one in the back yard on my AU XR6 using a box from an BF XR6T you will strugle to find a direct bolt in for a windsor tho im thinking you will need to find a sandwich plate to mount it up as the boss bellousing is different to the windsor. a tail shaft from a TS50 will work length wise and the yoke aswell this depends on the box you use.


Cheers
Mark
