Thank you for your comments/complements , I will most likely go for bucket seats or a three on the tree. Regarding the shifter, I have never seen this flat stock Hurst with a two piece plastic handle affixed to the top with a throw hole screw I suspect it as a very early unit.

Regardless the thread is floor shifter with overdrive and this is the bracket I made for it. Hope it helps



Regards,

Richard

I would never cut the shifter its way to rare to f=== it up

Where did you get the chrome oil breather cap? I can't find one anywhere! And I desperatly need a new one!

I got the oil filler cap at Pep Boys, but that was years ago.

Richard , Just a thought ,  why dont you use a 55,56,or57 T-bird standard shifter,  it bolts to the floor , i plan to use one on a 56 ford pass. car..... might be a little pricey ,  but i  have seen them on Ebay ....  The engine looks real good .....Good luck  ..Sam

Thanks to all the response, I've been a little sick and have not checked the site for a couple days. Tom, I think we talked about the trans numbers before, I'm not sure how to I.D it. It has the electric solenoid sticking out the side, the three shift arms. Next time I'm at the shop I'll snap a picture, and record the numbers.





thanks, Mark

If it is a T86, it will have a tin cover on the top of it. If it is a T86, I have one setting out with a Hurst shifter on it that I can photograph. The Hurst shifter will work in a 56 Ford with a bench seat and I am quite sure it will work in a later one with a bench. I added a photo of a T86 with a Hurst shifter I took some time ago.

Richard,

Could you provide me with a measurement from the tip of the fan to the rear of the dizzy or rearmost valve cover, please?

I'm doing some prelim mock ups for a Y in a '29 Coupe and that would be helpful.

Thanks and sorry about the hi-jack,

RB

Crenwelge, is that a Hurst syncromesh shifter? Ive seen them on ebay for around $100 bucks. Looks like thats the way Im going to go, since I cant find any info on the Jeep trans upgrade.
