That's what I understand as well. I had one in an Econoline van - 3 speed with a tall OD for highway cruising. The case looks like a toploader, but they're not suitable for any kind of power. |

How much power do you plan to put down? If you are building a cruiser, I would suspect it will be OK. If you are going to drive it hard, it will probably fail.

Assuming you are not asking about the Ford AOD.

Sounds like the old Borg Warner T-85 3-speed w/ OD. I had one in my '61 Ford Galaxie Starliner with a 406. It was "3 on the tree" with a knob you pulled out to go into OD. It served well on that big heavy car, but I doubt I would consider one for a light car with anything over 400hp.
