New project this winter
Just finishing up hydraulic brakes on my ‘35. Considering next project will be an overdrive transmission. Is this what I s/b looking for? ‘Ford / Mercury Borg Warner 3 Spd T85C-1A WG DIV R11-1G Overdrive Transmission’
What modification to the x frame & wishbone are required. Looks like open drive shaft required. Anything else I should know appreciated!

Have you ever tried to pick one up? Where you gonna find a floor shifter for it THESE DAYS? 1st gear ain't even synchronized! And it's huge, and it has all of that electrical mumbo-jumbo to HOPEFULLY make it work, not to mention all of that "stuff" sticking-out from it. Your CENTER X-member will be hugely in the way! And...you have the rear end to contend with, too. There are WAY-MO-BETTER choices for an O/D, and I don't mean a Mitchell. But what do I know? DD . |

This is but one of several possibilities out there for an O/D in a '35, but look at what these TWO Lunatic Guys cobbled together....click the link! DD https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...T5+TORQUE+TUBE |

Re: New project this winter
Was just considering it, still a novice on Early Fords & trying to get to the easiest solution to get beyond the horrible early 3 speeds on a modified engine & looking for easiest solution. Trusting your experience DD I’ll tank that as a viable idea ! I’m sure experienced FB guys like u DD knew, when you don’t know you ask, now I know & I’ll go back to mods required with S10 T5.
Thx ! PS: I have flirted with Crazy, she was fun!

Re: New project this winter
I’ve seen & read the thread on the T5 mods to use the torque tube & thought about it.
