I assume you want to put the 302 and C4 into the 62. I also assume that the 62 mounting for the TBlock is pretty much the same as a 54-56 and there are the same clearance problems. If not, this can throw the following off. Use 64/65 Ford Fairlane mounts (and I assume these mounts were used in other years). You have to put in a spacer between the mount and the block for clearance issues. Whatt pan to use depends on the car. The 54-56's use a front sump pan, the 62 may be different. If using a front sump pan, you have to use the front cover with the dipstick hole in it. What ever pan you use, make sure you use he corresponding oil pick tube and screen. Some require a special bolt that is used in one of the main caps. 54 Victoria 312; 48 Ford Conv 302, 56 Bird 312 Forever Ford Midland Park, NJ

I had the transmission expert rebuild it for me and use a case that matched the small block (302/351 and 300 cu-in 6) so I could use the Bendtsen adpater. I also needed the tail mounted parking brake since the 55 F600 doesn't have any provision for a parking brake on the rear brakes... I needed a pretty strong trans since my GVW is about 15000 lbs. The F450 has a similar GVW rating so I expect it to be "just right" for anything I want to haul or tow! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1955 F-600/272/E4OD// Disclaimer: No animals were injured while test driving my F-600 except the ones I ran over intentionally! --------------------- This post was created using OpenSuSE Linux x64 and Firefox

I don't know if you've priced them but none of them are really very cheap. You still in the NAVY?
