Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Try this link for cooler kits for comparison - any of these would be more efficient than what you have. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/search...on-cooler.html
Here in Oz I always use biggest one that will fit where I want to fit it. Any of them will suit your conditions. I wouldn't use the original cooler as it is probably sludged up or ready to blow after all these years. Regards

here's pic's of my water lines. they're actually in very good condition. except for fittings at block but that doesn't affect steel lines. fittings are separate parts. bob since it was so hard to find other pic's i went out and took these.

This cooler is on my Ranchwagon that has a C-4 trans. I posted this picture just to show you ONE option you could use instead of bypassing the cooler and possibly ruining your transmission. All coolers basically hook up the same way to your trans... oil out, oil in. I already gave you my opinion on what you should do; old trans in good shape, clean muck off, replace oil filter and pan gasket, inspect cooler lines, install old trans, converter, flex plate on new engine, install in truck, adjust kick down properly so it doesn't shift hard, drive and enjoy. Someone mentioned using gas hose on your cooler. Not a good idea. Get hose made for the purpose. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 02-13-2012 at 07:41 PM. |

Here's a link to proper transmission hose using Rick's suggested vendor. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/3-8-In...DisplayId=6768
You should be able to get it at your local auto parts house. |

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Sorry if I bothered anyone here. I am just trying to figure and understand everything. For me this feels like open heart surgery. I want it all to go well. I am using gunk right now and its working like a dream. All the caked on oil and sludge is coming right off. I will try to get this clean as possible before its too late tonight. i would like to get some clean pics and numbers up on here.

yes. your's is cruisomatic no. it's not a '64. i just had that chart bookmark handy. i posted your tag # on another forum. probably get an answer today. maybe somebody here that knows will answer. PBW means it's a cruisomatic. maybe F is year. i don't know. probably find out soon though! your trans looks cleaner! Have A Nice Day!

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
If you go back to when I posted Id pictures of different autos you will find yours is a 58-60 box. The fact that you have the plate riveted on the side of the case means it is a COM prior to 61. Even the casting letters on the box above the I'd plate which say B8or9A means it is a 58 or 9 casting which fits with what you say it came out of. It even states that it is fitted to a 292 cu in engine.
Regards
