Hi all,
I have a 32 Ford BB truck 131 1/2" which I bought without its engine and trans, anway I am about to go and pick up a 32 four banger engine and trans which came out of a 32 B half ton truck so the trans is the three speed car one.
So my question is, I have a couple of the heavier V8 4 speed trans from later trucks which im sure is the correct trans for the BB but im not sure if it will bolt up to the back of the four banger as I see in the photos of the engine that the current three speed has a lump on the bell housing where the starter motor fits, so my question is will my v8 trans fit or maybe with an adaptor or is it a case of getting the correct four speed trans to fit a four banger?
Also will an AA truck radiator work in the BB as I dont have the right one but do have a usable AA one?
Thanks for any advice in advance
