hello i also just bought a 66 f100 352 with a 3 speed its been relocated to the floor though its a regualr cab long bed i was wondering what trans it was and how it would hold up to a 500 hp motor im thinking about biulding
Your truck has the Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.
This was the only 3 speed (non O/D) manual trans available in 1965/66 F100/250's.
The Warner T-85N O/D was available as an option...F100's only.

500 horses and stock are not compatabile. You need to build a beefed up automatic or a manual transmission to handle it. Using a stock toploader four speed is also iffy and very expensive.
You will need a trans similar to a TKO 600 to handle those loads.
Why would anyone want to run a 3 speed manual tranny behind a 400-500hp engine? If it's not going to be hot-rodded, why use a 400-500hp engine? Go with the beefed up C6 or a toploader with a David Kee Toploaders shifter. David's also got the goods to strengthen the toploader.
