Is it possible?
I have a t98 transmission that was hooked up to a 292 y block out of a 1963 ford f100 and I bought a 1966 289 out of a fairlane is there anyway u could I could buy a different bellhouse and hook them together or do I have to a different transmission? And if I have to buy a transmission what would work for a 289? I want it to be a manual |

T-98's were not installed in any car, and no truck after 1964. You are limited to what M/T you can install because of how it and the engine mounts in 1961/64 trucks. There are no 1961/64 truck factory engine mounting parts that will work with the 289. |
You are in Hot Rodder territory. In other words, what works is what YOU can make work.
Grab some scrap and a welder, and make the mounts. Put a bellhousing on the 289, without flywheel, and see if the trans will bolt up and engage the pilot bushing. If so, start assembling what flywheel/clutch/throwout/pilot bush that will fit and work. Or stuff a different trans onto the 289 and make up a shifter. The rest is simple fabrication. Cosmo |

From production date 8/17/1964, the engine block has 6 bolt holes. These early 289's (and the 221/260) had an aluminum waterpump and timing cover. 1969/71 F100 302's were available with the Borg-Warner T-85N 3 speed manual with overdrive. |
Don't forget the early transmissions had narrow bell housing bolt patterns, while 1965 and up had wide bolt patterns for the transmission to bell housing mounts. I have seen some early switch over period transmissions with both the narrow and wide holes made into the mounting flanges.

Yup, Fords are fun.
For those who would doubt, I have had a 5 bolt 289, they came mostly in Mercurys, mine was out of a Comet. Cosmo |
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...Does a 1966 289 have the same bellhousing pattern as a 300 I6? If it does, then the right bellhousing would allow you to use any 4 speed ever put behind an I6 or forget bellhousings and find a Mazda M5R2 five speed. You'd have to mount a clutch master cylinder somewhere. Like said...hot rodder territory, but possible. May have to make your own engine perches. |
