'79 is T-19, either 'wide' or 'close'. It will bolt up(with its bellhousing)
to a 196, but in an 800 it will sit at a 15deg. tilt and the shifter will be
*way* further back than stock. Tranny mount needs relocated as well. It has
been done, but the proper T-18 w/bellhousing compensates for the tilt of the
motor and is a bunch shorter.
