Wanted t87 heavy duty truck transmission - condition is not important as all I need is case and tower. Mine is cracked. The closer to Washington the better. Carl

The Question is: Does the stock oil filter canister on an 8ba have a restrictor on both the inlet and the return line or just on the inlet. Thanks in advance for the knowledge of the Ford Barn members

Yes the cam must have been re-used as I see no refence to it being replaced, could be the issue indeed. How about fuel pump pushrod bushing?

Thanks form the thought. Should have said: I have checked that possibility by disconnecting filter and oil pressure issue was unchanged

Yes I do. The flywheel and pressure plate have been resurfaced and the disc is new. I figure shipping is about $40 to $45 Bucks. With that in mind. Tell me what sounds reasonable via Private Email. You will not be dissapointed in this set up. Regards, Carl

I have a stock 8ba in my 1950 f-1. I am considering installing a french flathead oil pump to boost oil pressure. I have had the pump for some time but have been reluctant to install it. Currently, oil pressure (running 10-40 oil) starts about 30+35 lbs at idle but drops to about 5 lb at...

Barry, Thanks so much for the information it is much appreciated. Carl

Somewhere I read the method used for adding the proper amount of oil to the 8ba, truck optional 6 bladed fan,but can no longer find it. Method being something like; adding oil to a certain level and with set screw hole turned to a certain location let oil run out- yada yada. My truck red book...

I need clarification regarding flywheel/pressure plate set ups on 8ba/8rt engines. I thought 8ba/rt flywheels flywheels were drilled for 9", 10", or 11" clutches; 9" in cars, 10 and 11 in trucks depending on transmission. I have a flywheel and pressure plate set up that I thought was a 9...
