But you replaced your trans mount to accept the added length of the new trans whereas his install did not. Your application is HP, whereas his is not. His mount(s) will remain stressed.

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
KULTULZ, This installation DOES have a custom transmission mount. I have completely removed the transmission mount and there was no movement from the original position. Where do you think the stress on the front mounts is coming from? I'm interested in knowing so I might remove any forward stress on the mounts. I really appreciate the comments for improvements.

If he released the trans mount and had no rearward movement, either the mounts are not holding the engine forward ... CORRECTION- are holding the the engine forward (mounts are turned) or the actual insulators have become stressed/frozen so as not to allow any movement.

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
Was the front yoke slack determined with the rear assy hanging or supported by the floor jack/stands?

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
KULTULZ, the yoke slack was checked with the transmission on the mount. I disconnected the rear u-joint and pushed the yoke forward into the transmission. The car was on jack stands under the front A-arms and under the rear axle, pretty much level.
dmsfrr, We can only guess as to the builder's motive, if he had one. He might have installed it that way out of ignorance. Judging from the position of the Z-bar attaching points, it is maybe 1"-1 1/2" forward. The shifter is close to the front seat, so maybe it was intentional. I just don't know. |

Does the engine sit in the bay squarely or does the left side seem to be a little ahead of the left? Do you know the exact version of the TREMEC?

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
As far as I can tell, except for the head off-set, it sets square.
It is a TKO 500. 3.25 first gear and .68 OD. The rear is 3.25 ratio, 27" tires. OD is a bit tall, but it does well above 50 mph. I wouldn't have chosen those ratios, but it is what it is for now. I didn't intend to have to rebuild the entire car. |

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
Oh, sorry, thought I read the whole thing, but I didn't see it anywhere. Well...Okay since they have to be turned around backward to get the trans to fit, then you will just need to find a smaller filter (if there is such a thing). But since the engine is moved so far forward now, how did you get the radiator in without hitting the fan blade. I guess you could eliminate the little spacer between the fan and water pump and use shorter bolts, but doing that would only gain you maybe 3/4 of an inch? |

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
The radiator appears to be in the 6 cylinder position. There is a 2" spacer between the fan and the water pump.

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
You would think someone would have written a TECH ARTICLE describing this retro-fit into a 50's FORD. I have searched but found nothing very descriptive.
Maybe 'Ol Don can enlighten us... Description of TRANS shown in attachment- 292 - T5 (pre '94) Z Code (251 Stamped) - Standard Bellhousing Modern Driveline Adaptor

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
For what it's worth, the above picture is a T5, I believe. Below is the TKO 500 like the one in my car. I'm not sure what is different except the tail housing. This one can house both shifter positions. The tail housing does have to be removed and the shift rods altered (a kit) to change positions.

It's been operational this long, thinking of just letting it be until a later planned re-install? It must be something regarding the trans length I would guess. EDIT- I just re-read one of your posts and noticed this-

Re: Oil Filter 55 Ford
Thanks Ronnie. I'm not familiar with the FL 300, but I had a 302 in a '40 for 20 years and used a FL 400 in it so I got another for this car. It fits fine, but is there a significant advantage of the FL 300 over the FL 400? I can have one ready for the next oil change if there is an advantage.
