Hello!
I've been into A's forever and am now itching for a T. I had a question for the professional's though: Does the A traditional style transmission and rear driveline easily adapt to the Model T frame? Do they make an adapter belhousing to allow directly bolting an A transmission to the T engine? I like the standard Model T "band drive" just fine...I was just curious from a technical standpoint... Regardless...I'd like to get a Model TT truck at some point.

I have seen Overland and Studebaker transmissions used on T's. Bolted in behind the T tranny like a Warford

Most folks just use a Ruxtell rear axle or an auxiliary transmission (or both). The mods necessary to get a conventional clutch & a working bell housing alone behind a 20 HP T engine would be a lot of tinkering.

The Model T transmission pan is part of the engine pan.
The flywheel is an integral part of the oiling system. Best not to muss with Henry's masterpiece there. ![]() Ruckstell or an auxiliary transmission is the way to go, but brakes need to be added to the wheels for sure. |

I'm running a KC Warford in my 27 Tudor. Best option for a T. It has a under, direct and over drive. You effectively have a four speed although you can split them. I run a Ruckstell in my 26 Roadster and 25 TT and like them very well. If you're going to add something I'd go with a KC Warford.

Has been done before. Model A engine, but no A trans, instead an adapter was machined to put the A block to the T planetary transmission.
Major issues to fix, removing A water pump at front, as it would hit the T radiator in the T body. Providing sufficient oil to the T transmission, as the A has oil pump, but T transmission needs same oil as engine, but to feed oil to the planetary gears and linings on the bands, and get it back to the A sump. Fellow T guy did this....and this T really runs fine, two speed like a T, but with the 40 horses of the A, and the A exhaust sound! |
