What five-speed kit does Ed fit behind a Ford Flathead?

Ed bought the five-speed as a kit from Speedway Motors. He says it is the same five-speed used for Chevrolet, with the same bolt pattern, so it would go in a 55 Chevy or anything later. Speedway has an adapter plate made to go between the Ford engine and the Chevrolet transmission.
