Got sidetracked, house and other projects, and switched gears, working on my 38 Chevrolet that I have had since the 70's, looks like the 49 will be a winter project, no one told me that retirement was so busy

 

This ought to work in my Merc.

 

I swapped out the inline six for a 1984-5.0 302 w/t 5 speed in our '54 Ford Wagon.

As someone else posted the tail shaft on the Ford transmission can be swaped out for a S-10 tail shaft.

I used the transmission without the alteration,, HRP

In this photo the shifter is in reverse,,close to the set but doesn't touch it.



shifter is in first.

 

Hotrodprimer, was that a mustang t5 trans? No s10 tail shaft? I was wondering if you had any other pictures
