Hello All, I'm in need of guidance. I have a '56 F100 with a stock gauge package. I've installed a T5 transmission from a '95-'97 Mustang with a tag number of 1352-238. I don't know if the speedometer was electronic or analog. Can anyone point me in the right direction to use this...

Many thanks I'll look into it.

Hello, I'm looking for some help…..I've searched the world wide web and can't find a solution. I have a '56 F100 with a stock 292 and all original gauges. I've installed a mustang T5 transmission with a manual speedometer "port" on the left side. I'd like to find a cable or adapter so I can...

Hello All, I'm installing a Tremec T5 transmission behind a y block. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get things working. I have the stock gauge and cable as is and wondered if there was an easy conversion???

I have a stock '56 F100 with a 3 speed transmission. I'm looking to install a Mustang T5 transmission. Can anyone point me in a direction to find a drive shaft (from the T5 to the stock rear end). Thanks, Mike

Looking for some new information. Can anyone shed some light on the proper fan shroud for a '56 F100 with a Y Block. Pictures would be much appreciated. I have what was supposed to be the correct shroud……….I can't figure it out, I know that it can only fit one of eight ways (inside outside front...

Any Y Block oil pans out there? Looking for an original pan for a restoration. Thanks

Y-Blockhead wins. I verified this is a service replacement part manufactured in '69 for a Y-Block. I picked up a later model rotor and cap specified for a 1958 Y-Block and it drop right in. Thanks for the replies Mike

Does this appear to be a correct statement? I think I figured out the distributor issue.....The distributor that I have was for a '57 plus y-block as far as the rotor button goes. I finally found the code for the part number on the distributor C9ZF-12131-A. The C9 indicates a '69 manufacture...

Looking for a 3 speed transmission for a '56 F100. Its going behind a Y-Block V8. Maybe in Maine or New Hampshire???

Many thanks………..

Thanks for all of the input. I'm looking at an Isky 301444 camshaft. It's supposed to be a little more that stock but not much. Its going into a truck that will remain in stock form with the 3 speed and original rear end. Thanks Again

Hello All, I need some help finding the correct camshaft for a stock 292 rebuild. The engine has been bored .060" over. The truck is a F100 with a 3 speed manual transmission with what I believe to be a stock rear end with 3.92 gears. This is to remain a stock driver. I've toyed with the T5...

Hello All, I'm looking for a oil galley plug. Its for the front of the motor, and is "shorter" that the standard plug. It is about 2/3's the length of the others. I'm told it can't be a longer one because of oil galley clearance/interference. Any help in locating said plug would be greatly...

Thanks for all of the information, I appreciate it. I have a machine shop looking at it now. I'll post with any further developments. Mike
