Re: 1950 Car Transmission OD and Regular Length?
The regular 3 speed transmission and the overdrive transmission are both the same length for any specific Ford model year. The 1949-50 Ford passenger overdrive transmissions are identical. The 1951 Ford overdrive trans is nearly identical and is often swapped in on 49-50 Ford cars.....the main difference is a small move in location of the rear support pad (and a small change in the bolt hole spread of that mount). This can be fixed with a simple adapter plate.
The same features described above apply to the regular standard 3 speed transmissions.
Overdrive transmissions for 1949-50 Ford convertibles have special adapters for the mounting of the solenoid in order to clear the frame structure on the ‘verts.
