A quick search says 56-63 3 speed manual, possibly out of a Corvette.

I've tried to get this across to people, but there are some people out there who REALLY refuse to acknowledge or accept it.
That is a SAGINAW design 3sp, built at the Muncie plant. It is NOT, repeat, NOT a Muncie design!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a Saginaw design, AGAIN, built at a Muncie plant. Oh well, some will REFUSE to accept this. OK.
That particular 3sp is a 58-65 version-----------FOR PASS CARS----------NOT Corvettes.
It has the short tail housing with the mount provision at the rear of the tail housing------------------ --THIS IS ONLY A PASS CAR FEATURE!!!
Even though the design was 58-65, there was a MAJOR INTERNAL change to all gears as well as the tail shaft which went from 16splines to 27 splines for 63-65 versions.
The Corvette 3sp had the long tail housing, with a providion for a mount.
AND, AND, AND------------THE CORVETTE TAIL HOUSING HAD BOSSES WITH THREADED HOLES FOR MOUNTING THE SHIFTER.

Does it have the coarse spline (16splines) or the fine spline (27splines) tail shaft?
The 58-62 had the 16spline tail shaft. The 63-65 had the 27spline tail shaft.

That is the 55-62 style tail shaft splines.
These are 4spds. The coarse, 16spline is a 62-earlier, the fine, 27spline is a 63-later. The shafts are the same diameter, just different splines.
