Looking for a match!!!
I have a 1954 F800 that came with a 5 speed heavy duty trans. I would like to use this trans behind a 460. Does anyone know if a late model bellhousing from a medium duty Ford truck with a 429 gas engine will accept this older trans? Any other ideas?

Don't know the answer, but here is a page from my 56 shop manual that says in 56, there were two HD 5 speeds, one with OD and one with direct:
5-Speed Heavy Duty Overdrive 1st gear(6.06) 2nd gear (3.50) 3rd gear (1.80) 4th gear (1.00) and 5th gear OD (.799), rev (6.00)
5-Speed Heavy Duty Direct Drive 1st gear (7.58) 2nd gear (4.38) 3rd gear (2.40) 4th gear (1.48) 5th gear (1.00), rev (7.51)
The Direct Drive was standard on F-800, and the OD was optional on the F-800. Both used a 12" clutch disc and pressure plate.
Oil capacity 12 pints.

Please post these dimensions:
1. Pilot bearing shaft diameter and length;
2. Input shaft: Diameter, no. of splines, stickout length;
3. Index diameter(o.d. of input bearing retainer;
4. Number of bolt holes (to B/H);
5. Distance horizontally between bolt holes, top, bottom;
6. Distance vertically between bolt holes, driver's side, passenger side.
I thought I was hot s--t 'cause I stuck a '78 4-spd. in a '91; man, a '54, wow.
