Oh wise ones. I seek your knowledge. I’m about to install a ’64 rear
suspension and ’64 differential into my ’63 daily-driver/track car. The
current drivetrain is the original 102 engine and 4-speed transmission. I’m
also going to be building a 140 late engine that I want to install in place
of the 102. Here are my questions:

   1. Do I use an early or late bellhousing?
   2. Will the ’64 diff. and ’63 tranny bolt right up?
   3. Will I be able to use the early clutch assembly and input shaft?
   4. Is a 3.89 rear end ratio too steep for a car that sees many miles at
   highway speeds?

Thanks so much in advance for helping.
