will a ford-o-matic off a yblock bolt onto a flathead??
Hey guys!
I have a ford-o-matic that was mated to a yblock that i am trying to sell on craigslist, A guy called me up asking if it would mount up to a flat head? I told him I know that earlier fords then 54 had flatheads and fordomatics but wasnt sure if a fordomatic off a yblock would work or not on a flathead and told him i would ask you guys and let him know....even tho im selling it cheap I just didnt want to sell it to him and it not work....sorry if its a dumb question im just not hip on flatheads..thanks for any insight |

When I was a kid, my parents had a '51 Merc. It was a flathead V8 and had an automatic transmission. In the early '60's, the flathead wore out, so my dad just went to a junkyard and got a Y-Block V8 out of a later year Ford car and dumped it in there. He used an adaptor plate to mate the Y-Block to the air-cooled bellhousing.
Don't know if you can still buy them now. Might be best to ask some of our freinds in the early V8 forum. |

Unfortunately "Honest Charley's" does not deal in adapters anymore. He had so many types of adapters that you could almost put a Hemi in a Metropolitan.
