[ihc] Putting 727 behind 152 in a Glassic

1966 - 1971 used a T-13. The Automatic was not introduced until 1972 when
they started putting Ford V-8's in them.
There were only about 400 International Drive Trains produced in 1972. Very
few standard transmission Ford engine cars were built. Perhaps 12 or so of
them. There was little space for the clutch and brake pedals and they were
more expensive to build than the automatic transmission version.

Engine swap. Regarding the International Model 80 or 800 cars. There was
ample room in them for any small block V-8 engine to be installed, and the
frames were certainly strong enough. Considerations in converting: you
probably would want an automatic transmission, the motor mounts would have
to be cut off and new ones fabricated, and the radiator would have to be
re-worked, including adding a cooler for the transmission.

All of the production V-8's were build on special made frames (Only one V-8
prototype was made on an actual Scout frame, and that was a 289 cubic inch
with a 4 speed transmission) 

While all this is fun information it does not answer your question 

I would try John Comer as he has helped the Glassic Community on a few
things or try their message board at
