$100 1968 Ford "Top Loader" three speed manual transmission - $100 (Osburn Idaho). Came with a 289 engine, told it was from a 1968 Mustang. I used the engine in a conversion project 30 years ago. Trans has been stored in an unheated shed ever since. Shifts easily, spins smooth by hand, no visible gear tooth damage, no internal rust. Only rust is on the input spline and throwout sleeve, looks quite usable to me, I would clean that off with scotchbrite or wire brush if I were planning to use it.
Specs;
Main housing C8AR-7006
Tailshaft housing RF-C5AR-7A040-B W-2
Input housing RF-C5AR 7050 B
Input spline 1.063 OD 10 splines. Pilot .672 OD. Throwout bearing sleeve 1.434 OD.
Output spline 1.195 OD 28 splines, 1.5 seal ID
9 bolt top cover
Has two bolt patterns for the bell housing.
Facing the front of trans;
Outer is 8-1/2 horizontal top and bottom X 6-5/16 vertical left and right.
Inner is 5-1/4 horizontal top, 6-5/16 horizontal bottom X
7-5/16 vertical left, 7-1/4 vertical right.
$100 Osburn Idaho (if ad is up it's still for sale).
