I know that method but it only gives you an approximate that you can try to match with available gear ratio’s.

117/167 not 116

do they say anything about attaching the steering column to the rack? looks like it wont just bolt on like the stock box.

started on the motor mounts

thanks for the pictures

By modifying the floor pan/trans hump do you mean cut and weld or just a big hammer?

I picked up the car, checked the bellhousing a and it does have both patterns on it

So the auto and 4 speed are seemingly identical? Im no stranger to modifying things so that wont be a problem, how far down did you drop it?

Assuming the car has the dual bolt pattern, will the 3 speed transmission crossmember work with a t10?

Thanks, ill have to look under the car. Im looking to pick up another 62 f-85 that is a 3 speed and was hoping I could use a 4 speed i have with the bellhousing.

i did some more research and answered my question

Its rolling again.

I decided to go manual with it so i ditch the th350 and bought a t56 and a flywheel. Not to much has been done to the car itself just been working on the axle and painting suspension parts. been cleaning up and assembling the engine also, its just a thirty over low comp with a cam, nothing special.

I havent update in a while. My current progess has me with a complete rear end, waiting on rotors and calipers to come in. Engine just needs heads done and finished assembly and I bought new front wheels and tires.
