RE: Overdrive Transmission for "FE"
By John M. Sutton - 04/24/2003 4:35:14 PM; IP 68.154.145.84
There were several variations of the so-called "Borg-Warner" transmisison. In many cases, the factory (Chevy, Hudson, Nash etc) would have BW manufacture their OD housing to mate to their transmission, but it would be referred to as BW's. Ford did this to some extent in their cars in the late '50s and early 60's. Hawkrod is far more knowledgeable on the cars than I am.
The BW's own T-85N is a very durable and sturdy OD transmisison used in F-100s, but it is a very heavy thing, weighing out at over 175 pounds empty. I have never seen this one in a Ford car, though.
I have attached a pic of it; you can see the belly of the thing that makes it big and heavy.
This thread, so far...
