Looking for a four speed out of a Torino or any other heavy car that was bolted to a 429. I have a 460 project in a 64 that I would like to install it into.

That would be the Ford toploader. You can scour the yards for one that will pop out of gear, or pay up.

complete trans/parts/tons of info:

David Kee Toploader Transmissions, Inc.

parts:

Toploader 4 Speed Transmissions

Catalog

more info, and advice regarding used boxes (easy to get over $1000 fixing a junker)

Buying Used Toploaders

google "4 speed toploader" for those and more.

BTW, the later model 4 speed OD toploader is built on the same pattern, but is not as strong. No way the OD will hold up to a big inch motor.

You will also want to be sure to get the wide ratio, 2.78 first gear box.

I was thinking of the 2.20 first but 2.78 is great

Well, if you want the CR, go for it. Mighty tall for a heavier vehicle imo.
