Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
I’m 95% sure the 60hp & 80hp versions of the Flatty’s use the same tranny, is that correct?

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
I don't think so. It was a long time ago, but I had a V860 about 1960 that I wanted to build a hot rod around. It seems the transmission itself was physically smaller than that for the 85. I seem to remember that the bolt patterns were the same, and the 85 transmission could be mounted to he 60 with some modification around the starter drive.

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
No, the V8-60 trans is considerably smaller in size and the input shaft also is smaller.

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
it depends on year and use, in 1940 it was the same size as 85, in in a 4 speed truck it was same trans, but bell housing,or case would be different

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
I have a V8-60 commercial trans sitting in my shop now that I was going to use behind a "hopped Up" V8-60 engine I was going to put in my '38. Car now sold.

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
In the US Fords, it was from 1937 to 1940. The case was always different (obvious different bellhousing) but the same length as a "big block engine" trans so they would both easily fit into the cars. The 37 to 39 had a small gear set while the 40 used a set which could fit both big and little V8s.

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
A normal 85 transmission will work if you grind out a simi circle on the case to match the starter bulge.

Re: Tranny for 60 hp Flatty
I have a 40 pick up trans. in the shop. It is a 78 case and it has both cutouts for the starters. One year only. It has stump puller gears but can take any gear setup.
