That is not the sequence American Boy outlined for you. I was afraid you would follow his sequence and mess up the pump.
Sorry if I came on a little strong. |

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
When I removed the auto from my 55, I had no choice with pulling the trans. The engine was seized solid. A 25,000 mile engine left outside for 48 years with exhaust manifold off and blown head gasket. Completely stuffed a good engine.
I left the torque converter bolted to the flywheel and pulled the box straight back. I wasn't worried about the seal as I wanted to replace the front and rear seal and torque converter "O" ring. I got it apart with no damage, but I was very careful pulling the box. I was always told that if the torque converter is removed from the trans the seal should be replaced. Regards

ok. i'll eat dirt on that one. 1 take off inspection cover that's half round piece of tin on front lower half of bellhousing 2 rotate engine spark plugs out take off 4 flexplate to converter nuts 3 take off bellhousing to engine bolts 4 pull trans back 5 keep pushing converter back onto transmission shaft while getting trans off engine. 6 when trans is off THEN pull converter straight off bob i just don't want anybody that remembers me driving my 54 Ford Crestliner to Redondo High thinking i've slipped a little and do things like getting my classic car painted at Earl Sheib's

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
redondo ( y blockhead ) ok to pm you over weekend w/fond memories
'56 custom should do this: 1 put in later radiator w/transmission cooler in bottom tank. 2 put original cooler parts in his garage and give them to new owner if he sells truck. reasons why: 1 i don't think his replacement 292 has truck water lines for transmission cooler on it. 2 my brass fittings at block for truck trans cooler just fell apart when i went to remove water lines. 3 whole truck trans cooler setup will be always in the way when working on almost anything later. bob

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Well I split the motor and trans tonight. I took off the coolant lines from old motor and they are in great condition. The actually cooler on the trans needs some good cleaning. Other then that. I will be using the original setup. Should hold up descent.

1 use pad and pencil to make reassembly notes 2 check for 1 or 2 converter drain plugs 3 MAKE SURE DRAIN PLUG OR PLUGS LINE UP WITH 2 ROUND ACCESS HOLES IN FLEX PLATE! cover your little radiator next bob

how bob would tackle this: 1 on new motor get water line fittings OUT first plug them! should have NO EFFECT on block circulation. 2 get trans cooler fittings OUT. put two nice brass barbs in line in and line out put the rubber hose on between them. CONTINUE REASSEMBLING TRUCK AND FOOL WITH COOLER LATER. bob

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
Ok so just take it off of the trans and take it in along with my radiator and have them both gone through? Also the other big soft line coming off of it does it go to the water pump?

1 getting fittings out NOW is something you want to do anyhow. 2 you want them to be SERVICEABLE in future. 3 whether you go original or update is something else. 4 i would whip those fittings into shape NOW. bob

Re: 1960 f100 with 292 yblock which auto trans to use?
The brass fittings that were on the block of the motor? Those came right off! Very easily. If you look at the last pic of the cooler on the trans. There are an inlet and out. The one with the hose off goes to the bellhousing where there is a "t" fitting that splits it to both sides of the block. Then the cooler that has the hose still on it thats the hose that is very long.

the young bull and the old bull look down and see a bunch of cows. the young bull says 'lets RUN down there and MEET a cow.' the old bull says 'let's walk down there and MEET them all!' this old bull is telling you. 1 just put it back together the bob way. 2 get an online manual for $20 and steadily 'restore' odd ball cooling system that was only used a couple of years and was never heard from again. bob
