·Ok guys, hard to explain, but I need any info at all on T85, T86, T87, T89, or T98 transmissions manufactured by Borg Warner in the 60's as possible. Anything. I have no clue other they are 3 spd manuals and the T98 is a 4 speed manual. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out if one of them may have had a bolt pattern similar to the one on the front of the 3.03 tranny. Also, I've got a source saying that a Tremmec 3 spd manual was available for this application ('64 Econoline with a 170 I6). What I'm trying to do is get a bellhousing with the 3.03 Ford 3 speed patten to bolt to the 5 bolt pattern 200/170/144 engine block. This will allow the use of a T5 behind it with the standard V8 swap pieces. All the pre-66 Falcons came with the 2.77 or Dagenham. Unfortunately, the 2.77 tranny does not match the 3.03's pattern and the Dagenham is a whole nother world of English parts. However, the '61 and up Econolines had heavier duty BW trannies available. It is my belief that there are a few bellhousings floating around the junkyards of the country that will allow the early 4 main 200 to use a T5 via the common adapter plate. Any questions? Casting numbers, codes, pictures, websites, personal referrences, anything??? Thanks
