flathead to Y-block transmitions

Hey

quick question, will a Ford-o-matic from a 292 fit the bellhousing of a flathead?


Thanks in advance

Don't think so, couldn't match up any numbers. But, I do not have the car parts books. Ford-O-Matic was introduced in 1951 on Ford and Mercury (Merc-O-Matic, same as F-O-M) passenger cars (Lincolns used Hydramatic), but the only year truck with a flathead V8 that had F-O-M was 1953 (first yr for an A/T in a F Series truck).

Ok well, thanks Bill,
it is a 1953 F100 with he flathead 239.
The guy s threatning to swap out to a 302 auto and I just gotta make sure that don't happen, so his wife could drive it. If he can't find a automatic for his flathead.

Flathead V8 with Ford-O-Matic = 1951-53 Ford/Mercury passenger cars, 1953 trucks.

Snowking,
Flat-o makes an adapter to use a more modern automatic Ford C-4 with the flathead.
Check www.flat-o.com.
Also try Speedway Motors (www.speedwaymotors.com)
