Ford 3.03 RAT vs 3.03 HEG toploaders
Hi guys,
I live in the Netherlands and drive a V8 302 cid '71 F-100 (three on the wheel). I imported the truck from San Jose, CA. It came with a non-original transmission, namely a Ford 3.03 HEG toploader (normal for '66 Fairlanes) as opposed to a Ford 3.03 RAT. I bought a used Ford 3.03 RAT H3 on ebay and a RAT transmission overhaul kit from broncograveyard.com.
When taking the RAT transmission apart i found that the rollers from the roller bearing in the input shaft were rusted/oiled to the main shaft. I managed to get them loose but now the machined surface is damaged and so both shafts are no longer usable.
Would anybody happen to know if i could use that RAT overhaul kit in the HEG Transmission ?? (bearings, syncho-mesh rings)
Would anybody happen to know the gear ratios of that HEG transmission ?? (the RAT H3 has a 2.99-1.75-1.00 ratio)
Has anybody a main shaft and input shaft from a 3.03 RAT H-series for sale ??
Thanks in advance
John
