The adapter would have to work for the narrow Borg Warner flange bolt pattern or an early transmission could be used and a cross member would have to be fabricated to install a rear mount. A Mercury overdrive trans could be used but it is side shift.
Is the F100 a top shift or side shift transmission?

It is a side shift. Thanks for the hint regarding the rear mount. It seems that the project will get more and more complicated
