I have a 3speed with od out of a 59 ford six cylynder It is till coverd with lots of road crud so I am guessing that it might be a fomoco make Has a 6bolt top cover plate but no side plate like my t 85. am wondering if it will bolt up to my 332 fe bell housing and will the input shaft be correct fit also are they any good??????? Help!!! am needing to replace the t 85 becuse the od has problems

yes it will bolt up no problem but its the light one.should do the job unless your into burnouts like the old days.

The T-86 is a top loader. Most FE applications used the T85/R11. It likely wouldn't matter on a small FE like the 332 or 352 as long as they aren't hammered hard. It would have to have the narrow Borg Warner bolt pattern.
