5 speed on the tree
I am working on future plans for my 56 f100 long bed. I want to put a 5.0 coyote in it with a 5 speed transmission down the road. It has a 272 y block with a 3 on the tree. What I am wondering is, I absolutely love the 3 on the tree but when I get a 5 speed transmission is there a way to keep it on the tree and not put a shifter in the middle of the floor. I like the clean look of it being on the column and don't want to put a shifter on the floor. Thanks for any help that you can give me

I had a Mercedes at one point that had a 4-sp on the column. Unbelievably complicated to get 4 speeds, I can't imagine what it would take to get 5 + R. Especially since Reverse likely needs a push down to hit.

I kind of love challenges and I dont think anything is impossible
The 3 speed ha 4 slots, 2 slots in default location and 2 slots are spring loaded i.e moves the pin to the slot in the second lever.
You simply need to manufactore a 3 leveler system i.e 6 slots total. 1 default and 2 spring loaded (1 up and 1 down)
How does the transmission look like. It would be easier if it had 3 shift forcs

How much money ya got? Or, maybe a better way of asking, how much are you willing to spend? ;-)
