3 sspeed overdrive

I have a 65 F100 with a 352 and a T-85n overdrive. If I switch over to a 300 will this transmission fit the 300 bellhousing.

3 sspeed overdrive

When I switched from an O/D to a regular 3spd it bolted right up, that was on a 223 though.

FORD changed their trans to bellhousing bolt pattern in the early 60's-unfortunately I can't remember when.
Perhaps a wrecking yard interchange might have the answer-if they will help.

I have not heard of the a 3 speed overdrive for a 66. Do you have any pictures of the T-85n overdrive. Does it help much in your gas mileage?

Talking 3 sspeed overdrive

I did a little research and found some info... The bellhousing to trans pattern prior to early 1965 is different from the late 1965 and newer.The early bolt pattern is offset(5 5/16x7 5/16x6 5/16x7 5/16) and the later pattern is a rectangle(8 1/2x6 3/8). Hope this helps!
