Yes, I've done it 3 ways in my 66 f-250, original it had 352 with NP425 4 speed, then I got rid of the 352 and put a 240 I-6 to the 4 speed ( the 240 had a 3 speed behind it originaly) , and now I'm just finishing up installing 4 speed with OD in the truck, this trans came out of a 1986 f-150 with a 300 I-6 this last install involved a mod to drive shaft length and drill to holes for center bearing mount for 2 piece driveshaft.

Thank You for your response. What kind of fuel mileage do you get with the 6cyl 4-speed combo? Is your ratio 4.10?

A nice swap for a Mid 80s TOD will drop right in with some drive shaft and floor mods.

That is fords 3 speed overdrive. A four speed alumimum case unit top shifted with fourth gear as an .67 OD. You can usuall pick these up at a pick a part for 50 bucks.
