New guy, will need help

I have a 39 and a 51. The 39 is done with car 3 speed and mild 8ba. The 51 is new to me and I plan to put a mild 8ba and T-5 in it this coming fall. If someone can lead me to links on T-5 in 51 it would be a good start. I have the T-5 and hogshead and truck bell. Not sure what adapter and I would like to keep stock clutch linkage. Pictures attached I hope. http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/102_0511.jpg http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/u...g?t=1240879689
I just discovered this site so it will take me sometime to get with it.
Pete

Pete,
Welcome to FTE! You have a couple of very nice trucks there. There are quite a few guys on here running flatties so hopefully someone will be along shortly to help with your questions.
Good Luck!
