I thought all fast hitches bolted to the sides of the rear end housing. Where else would they bolt?
Yes, the SMTA rear end housing is the same as the 400 and 450, so a real SMTA would be able to support a fast hitch.
The main difference is the 400's fast hitch had an attachment to the top cover/platform that is not on an SMTA. This would require some sort of retrofit bracket, or a top cover from a 400.
The 450's fast hitch would bolt right up to an SMTA, no modifications.
There was always a boss on the block for a dipstick, and sometimes the owner would have them drilled out on an engine rebuild, and install a dipstick.
Look for Z codes on the castings, but beware that there were a few 400's made in 1954 and early 1955 with Z code castings.
There are some "fake" SMTAs out there made from those early 400s.
