Default Re: 39 transmission. V12 OD to V8-60????

The V-8 sixty doesn’t have the power OR the torque for what you envision, particularly with the overdrive transmission. The gearing in the differential can aggravate the problem if it’s a high ratio.

The transmission case can be modified to fit the 60hp block and clear the starter. However, unless you are working with the 1940 motor you will have a problem matching up the 8.5” clutch to the larger input shaft of the Lincoln transmission.

Another question you asked was about swapping the gearset and overdrive components of the Lincoln transmission into a 1939 top loader.....not without MAJOR modifications.
