Did you make the rear plate? It appears it is set up for a torque tube-so it would work on the early flatheads? Great looking tranny.

How does the overall length compare with the stock transmission? Beautiful job.

M. V.

I assume this transmission is one you assembled/built from one that was available as original equipment for the F-150. And I'm assuming it is a five speed, is that correct?

I've been thinking that an O.D. transmission would be a great addition to my flathead powered 46 1/2 ton, but haven't been able to find anyone that could tell me if it could be done or where to start. The old Ford car O.D. transmissions are column shift and it doesn't appear to be practical to convert the case of a top loader.

Any information on how this was done would be appreciated.

I had one of these in a model pick-up with a worked 32 b ,block a few years ago

Would love one of those transmissions in Lil' Red. I'm a driver and that would put less strain on the flathead out on the road since the rear is 4:11's.

What are these like to drive as first gear is reasonably tall with quite a jump to second gear but 4th looks great.

Ford F150, 84-87, some are from 302 V8, some are from inline 6. They are a 4 speed with 4th being overdrive. There are three models all with different ratios. The ratios a fairly similar to a flathead V8, but there is synchro on all gears, and a flathead will never break one.

Bassman, thanks, I'll be shakin' the trees and rakin' the leaves to see if I can find one..or two.:)

Have one of these trans in a 1948 Car. Got the whole trans set up from Miss Victoria, it looks very nice drives really nice, ratios seem to work better than the original. Have 3.78 gears 60-65mph is great will go even faster if you want. the part I like is looking under the car.... it looks original. I was lucky able to use a 39 driveshaft assy . Laurie

Ive got a 1936 ford 1-1/2 ton truck with the non-syncro 4 speed. I have been researching doing a T-5 conversion. This seems like it may actually be better. My bellhousing looks different. Can this be made to wotk in my truck?

There is a LOT more to the conversion like extensive machine work than just a rear plate. After talking to someone that actually does the conversions I concluded that it was much simpler to buy one already done than do what the guy told me has to be done.
