Ford Fairlane Ford Fairlane was produced from 1955 through 1969. The original body design was the full sized Ford body which started out as a family vehicle and slowly evolved into many different available models and body styles. The exterior paint and trim options, seemed endless with elaborate cloth woven seat covers and a rainbow of paint combinations.

Question 63 tranny swap
Hi--- I have a '63 Fairlane 2 door HT w/a '68 302 transplant (obviously a 6 bolt). Unfortunately, the old 2-speed Fordomatic was left in and I can pass almost anything except a gas station.
I want to swap it out with a 4 or 5 speed manual. Has anybody here done this??? Which tranny should I zero in on?
I have scrounged a bell crank, and have a nice turned SB flywheel but am hesistant to buy anything else without knowing the best tranny to buy.

Which tranny? Parts needed?
Rear end swap necessary (stock 8" with-- I believe-- 3.50 ring/pinion)

Sorry about the long-winded question... this is a big project for me.
