Transmission is easy. Just use a complete 51-52 ford F1 open drive side shift transmission. Its a bolt it. Uses the same rubber rear mount and direct hook up to the column shift. Usually cheaper then the floor shift open drive transmissions.

I did it in a 47 convertible with a y block motor. Used a 65 ford F100 9" rear on the stock buggy spring
