Transmission swap?
I have a '66 Ranchero with a factory 289. The tranny is a floor-mounted 3 speed. I have an opportunity to get a '68 Ford 1/2 ton pickup cheap. It has a 300ci 6 banger with a 4 speed. Would this tranny work in my Ranchero?

A Ford Top loader 4 speed is probably a direct bolt in. It was in my '65 Mustang.
Info on these boxes:

this guy does 'em right, not cheap, but lots of info regarding models etc.
Another site with lots of info:

Did someone say 5 speeds? If you are going to the trouble to swap out, a T5 will bolt in also, giving you OD for low rev hiway running. Some sites with info.

These fellers got right back to me when I emailed them. The sell packages including cross members.

info galore.... including other models with movable shifters.

how to ID the T5 if you visit your local scrappy in search of same.
Good luck.
