Default Re: F 150 OD trans

Word of advice since I’m putting the f150 Tran in my coupe right now.

Using the Mac’s bellhousing you will need to get a lightened flywheel or machine the steps out of the side of the flywheel and the mill the front face flat of the flywheel. Basically just buy a v8 clutch setup with lightened flywheel to make it easy.

Cross member will need the a little cutting on the front side but it’s not that tragic.

Everything actually clears the mechanical brake cross bar so that’s a plus since my car is still mech brakes.

Cutting the torque tube, driveshaft and radius arms are easy. Total out of my car using the Mac’s bell was 3.5”.

At the moment I’m dealing with moser engineering on splining the shaft of the transmission. They have no recollection of doing these for others in the past. Mine is going out tomorrow to them but I’m sure they will be calling me again since I just walked the guy through what I needed and emailed detailed pictures.

Just my $0.02 from a 32 year old.
