Thanks! That’s a good advice…I already visited this Website without thinking about simply asking this guys for help with my transmission…

That is really a nice engine for this little car. But I think first step for me is keeping it original with the 215 cid. If the car ever will be finnushed I will post some pics…

Hey Jim,

that really helps me to get a little bit chilled about my transmission/engine Problem. So perhaps a 4 or 5-speed will be possible without great Investments…thanks a lot!
What is your opinion about swapping other engines? The weight in The Front suspension is one thing, but are the drive shaft and the rearaxle really this weak that a small block will destroy Them because oft the higher torque?

Hello Joe,

thanks for The bellhouse information. My Problem is that there is no transmission in my car and I wanted to know which was The original manual 3 speed used in The 1963 F-85 cars. The original driving shaft is still in there and I want to keep it because The spare parts Situation is even worse here in Germany…

Hello youngolds,

thanks for the transmission information!
Where in The framerails is The VIN Stamped in?
I think somewhere on The hump for The frontaxle, right?
Sorry, but The preowner covered The whole thing with a thick anti-rust paint, so before I begin to scratch it off, it would be better to know The right Position where to search ;-).
