transmission conversion info
I'm thinking of converting my 67 F100 2WD 390 FMX to a 4 speed manual tranny. What issues would come up? What would be a good choice for a 4-speed? I'm thinking probably a NP435.. would that bolt up to a 390? Will I need to cut out the tranny tunnel and replace it with one from a truck that came with the NP435 originally?

Greg, It is a lot easier to go the other way, st drv. to auto. First you will need a donor truck close by to harvest all the parts and have some idea of how they go. There should be plenty of the trucks with 352s, 360s, & 390s and that tranny to choose from. You will just have to cut a hole in the floor for the shifter.
I would leave it auto, but tis your truck.

did you end up converting your truck from automatic tranny to standard?
if you did and still have the auto tranny,
i would be interested in purchasing it if it is in good shape.
