1946 Flathead transmission adapter

Hi everyone!
Another question!
Does anyone know if there is an adapter for a ZF manual transmission for a V8 flathead 1946? And where to find this...
Reading many thread on this website I understand that is a bad idea to put a T-5 transmission on a F5 and I want to stay with a manual transmission. I would also like to get a ratio that includes an overdrive. So looking at the ZF transmission I think that with his spec it would be a good choice!
If anyone has other suggestions feel free to tell me!
Thanks for all you help with my build!!!

Are you sure you have a 1946 flathead V8? That would be a 59AB with the bellhousing being part of the block.

Yes this is exact!
Half of the bell housing is cast directly on the motor!
It's an original 1948 F135 (F5) Canadian truck with the V8 1946...
