hey, i just blew out my 3 speed w\ overdrive tranny, in my 1957 ford Ranchero, it has a 312 ci V8 in it and i was wondering if anyone could tell me of any 4 speed borg warner transmissions that would match up well with it?

ford used the borg 4 speed from 62 to about 64 when they stsrted using there own.they bolt right up.

 

i was thinking a T10 Borg Warner 4 speed, i think it matches up with the Y block, but im not sure. and how much do you think it would cost?

 

I have a T-98 Borg Warner that matches right on up to the y-block, i'm not sure exactly what other trannies bolt up, just wait for one of the y-block guys to come along. If ya want a 4speed manual tranny, i have a Borg Warner T-98, send me an email if ya need it.

 

I think many top-loaders have the right bolt pattern. But the diameter of the bearing retainer and the length of the input shaft need to be checked.

I have an RUG 4sp/od that's a fair candidate for this swap. Do a search in this forum and you'll find other discussions about this subject.

 

Just out of curiousity, how did you blow the trans?

 

hahah funny youd ask, its not the whole trans i still have 2nd and 3rd, but i busted 1st, driving it kinda hard, stepped on it till around 3500 rpms and band there goes my 1st gear, being the 16 year old i am. im just ganna replace the whole trans thats 3 w\0d was weak to start.

 

Sorry about the other night in chat, i had way to many messengers open and at least talking to 2 people on each but most importantly i was talking to Brittany.....but.....anyways, you asked if i was getting rid of it, yes, i am along with my 292 y-block. I'm swapping in a 302/M5OD so the tranny and engine aren't needed anymore and me beign a teen on a mission to drive the truck 780 miles in December of 07, i needed something a little more reliable, Now, back on subject, heres the auction number on the tranny and engine since you were kinda interested. Item number: 8038095727

Good luck and you're not supposed to do what me as a fellow 16 year old does.....lol....you are on the right track with the old stuff.
