Re: T85 transmission
FoMoCo started using the T-85/R11 in the heavy Lincoln cars starting in 1949. They were used with the Lincoln 337 and the 317 when it came out in 1952. Lincoln went heavy with the automatic transmissions when they came available so the T-85 wasn't used as much till later in the 50s. It was always the heavy duty overdrive transmission. They used them behind FE engines up thru 1971. It can take a lot of punishment compared to the R10 types.
