Technical 59 F100 tranny swap

<hr style="color:#666666; background-color:#666666" size="1"> I am looking to swap out my bad FMX in my 59 with a 5speed, I found a 1988 F150 6 cyl with a 5 speed and rearend for $400.00. I figured it's got the tranny I need and the diff as well.

Question is will the M5OD 5 speed that's in there bolted to the 6 banger, bolt up to my '85 302 roller.

Also will the flexplate be useable or would I need to use the one from the auto??


Thanks guys

 

I f I understand you correctly, you can't use a flex plate from an auto trans with a standard trans. You need a flywheel and clutch. Hope this helps.

 

I guess i didn't explain myself very well... Simply put, is the 6 cyl trans bolt up to a v8

 

sbf and straight 6 are same bolt pattern. seems like there was some difference in flywheels but maybe thats just my mind mixing things up.

but yes they do physiclly bolt together.

 

thanks, that's what i wanted to know i'm gonna pick that donor truck up.
