I have a 54 ranch wagon with the original Fordomatic and its attached to a 62 Y-block that runs good.The trans may need a rebuild,instead of doing a rebuild I was thinking of an upgrade.I know some one that has an FMX out of a Mustang.Would it be possible to use these parts on my car?

Tap on the little "magnifying glass" symbol for search, and type FMX. Years worth of discussions and answers.

Yes. Biggest issue will be the converter. Your Y has a different sized pilot (bigger) than the Mustang.

Yes, actually a sleeve. That's exactly what I've done. You may have to build a flat plate to move the rear mount forward or back, Don't know on your car. Get the driveshaft yoke, I beleive the spline is different, and you may wind up doing a drive shaft.

Can I use the Fordo bellhousing and flex plate for the FMX?

Frank, When I used to run the FMX, I used the Ford-o-matic bell housing, torque converted and input shaft. FMX center section and the Ford-o-matic output shaft. This way I was able to bolt the unit right in and didn't have to change my drive shaft.
I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
