Sorry this unit was sold.

Open to reasonable offers of course

Summer has sprung and I still have this very nice tans available. Make me a reasonable offer and lets make a deal !!

I have a very nice overdrive trans from a 49 v8 for sale. It is complete, very clean, and in good working order. I will include the clutch plate and flywheel/ring gear but I am using the stamped bell housing for another project. Asking $400.

Looking for an adapter and misc parts to mate a ford C4 trans to my 49 Merc Flathead 8

good stuff

Thanks for the great pick Ron. A picture is worth a bunch of words!

Yep caught me on that one ..small it is !!

Anybody know what a fair price is for a 49 Merc overdrive tans in great shape?

Yes I agree. Saw one in a 53 Ford truck with a flatty and the owner said it worked great and he could cruise over 80 all day

Nice flatty!

Well I have seen lots of 350 short blocks in S-10s so its pretty common.After all it is a truck chassis. I figure if needed it should not be that difficult to make upgrades for additional weight. I already put a 350 short block i 400HP n an MGB without any suspension modification and thats a lot...

I agree the overdrive is a big plus. One concern in this project is that I'm starting with a bare S-10 chassis and Studebaker cab so I do not have any of the clutch/pedal components for the conversion so going auto would be a lot simpler.

I just saw a TV episode on Wheeler Dealers where they put an automatic in a 53 ford pick up with a flat head and in the end it ran great but there are no details on which trans or adapters were used. Is the C4 a better way to go if your thinking automatic?
