'76 300 6 overdrive

Hi all,
Look in my gallery pictures to see what fell into my garage. I have what I am told is a Clark overdrive custom bolted to a 300 6. Has anyone else seen one of these? I am neck deep into another project but had to pull the tranny out to take some measurements.
The bellhousing is alu..with 3/8 alu.. plate welded to it to take up the different lengths of the input shafts.
Any info you might have on it would be nice.
I wounder if it will fit behind a 390 and bell.........?
Bye for now, got to do some more cutting.

I think that transmission came stock in ford school buses. Its a rather valuable transmission, to offroaders, they are very strong.

Thanks for the info. Any idea what years?
I unbolted it from the bellhousing. Not much slop in the shifting.
The shifting pattern is interesting,

2....od.....R
|----|----|
3.....4......1

If I use it I will need to seal it up with a kit. Sure is greasy.
