Not Ranked
David I tried that with an old 3 spd trans that came with my 63 Fairlane 500 and it didn't work so great. I ended up breaking off a couple of the ears of my transmission trying to pull a mis-aligned tranny up to the bell housing.
Back in the day you could replace the 3 spd for $50 but I choose to go with a 4sp Borg Warner out of a Galaxie 500. And then nothing fit. Drive shaft, clutch, wrong rearend, etc. so I got to park it for a little while until I could earn enough money to fix it right. Lessons learned.
