I smile when I read this Thread. It takes me back to the 60's when old fords were cheap and I had many. Our solution to getting the trans out through the top was to cut 2-3 inch x 8-9 inches long section out of the floor board just behind the trans. How many floor boards we ruined I have no idea but luckily I have not run into them when purchasing restored or restorable cars subsequent and current years.
