1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
I have a 1960 f100 with a 292 yblock, the original trans was fluid cooled with a tank on the side with lines that go to the block of the motor. Well the original motor was trash so I scored another 292 with I think to be an air cooled ford o matic trans. Im not sure what trans to use.

If the truck will be used just to putz around in, I would use the passenger trans, or convert to a C4.

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Your water cooled Fordo can be re built useing a FMX case and other small parts. You would end up with a full 3 speed from a dead stop. Other than that it would be original and no one would no any different. There are a couple of articles on that subjuet at Y Blocks forever i think.
I have done it on my 54 Sunliner and not sorry at all. Didn.t cost any more than a regular rebuild. I used my stock front pump so didn't need to mess with the torque converter. |

can you post some pictures of both transmissions? does the bellhousing on first one look like this? true air cooled trans was 2 speed fordomatic and never put behind a V8. it has air scoop on bellhousing. Have A Nice Day! Ford 292 & Cruise-O-Matic From Ford '64 F100

can you do pictures? this site has the best kind of upload. you upload straight from computer. no photo bucket or anything. my trans has screen like diagram. so i guess it's figure out what the other one of yours is. i think pictures are the way to go. here's pic of nice 292 AFTER you solve trans puzzle. Have A Nice Day!

i'm pretty sure mine's 'Cruisomatic'. true 3 speed. to be honest i'm waiting until i get it all cleaned off to totally nail what it is. we can make progress with your original tranny though. cast iron bellhousing? cast iron main case? cast iron tailshaft? TIP: better just pic's of original trans only first. from all 4 sides. trust me, it gets complicated. Have A Nice Day!

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
All FOMs in cars from 51 until mid-56 were air-cooled and were actually 3 speed,although many people think they were 2 speeds because they start off in second in drive.L locks it in first and floorboarding the throttle in drive below about 30 MPH drops it into first.The truck FOMs starting,I think in 54,had an external cooler.After March of 56,all FOMS were water-cooled.

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Well I didnt get to the pics today but hopefully in the morning. Im not sure how to tell the physical difference between the cruis o matic and FOM. I guess I will just wait to post pics and go from there. All I have to say is I need to get this motor and trans in this truck asap!

i'll yield to that.forget the pic's. don't want any problems that it cause for you on my head. i have time to take good pic's. to help other guys when this comes up again. i'd say use the trans that came out. then fool around with 'new' trans when the pressure's off. so eyeball it and make sure everything matches with replacement 292. i'd bypass balance flexplate, etc. issues for now and just put it together. Have A Nice Day!

As far as your picture is concerned, I don't believe that is even a Y-Block bell housing because it states 1964-72 Ford stopped making Y-Blocks in 1964. It's either for a SBF or a FE. |

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Was your original trans in good condition when your engine gave up? What is the condition of the new transmission? Do you have any idea what year your new engine/transmission is and if it came out of a car or truck?
Do both Bellhousings have the "ears" for the truck engine mounts (car bells don't have these). I sent a PM. |
