I have a 1960 f100 custom cab that I am pretty sure that was all stock. I pulled the 292 out,it was tired and beat. It had a ford o matic fluid cooled that has that canister on the side of it that taps into the block of the motor. I picked up another 292 that has a ford o matic on it and on the bellhousing it has mesh. Is it air cooled?



Here is the thing....I am not sure which one to use. I would like the fluid cooled one since it was original but I am told not to use the cooler? Why is that? Then others say they work great. Should I use that fluid cooled trans and transfer all the hard lines off the old motor to the new? I also was told to.get a trans cooler on the radiator.Or just use the air cooled trans? I am stumped on this.
