| RE:G code w/Overdrive |

It wasn't common to see that's for sure but the Borg Warner T-85 with Overdrive was available with the high performance full size Fords from '60 - '64. In '60 the regular T-85 was standard with the 352HP and the Overdrive was optional. The same was true for '61 except that in April, '61, a Borg Warner 4 speed became available at the same time the tri power option became available. Both were dealer installed options for these late '61 HPs. The BW 4 speed became a factory installed option in '62 with both the 390HP-375 & 401 horse early and later 406-385/405 horse. Standard trans for these in '62? Column shift 3 speed T-85 or T-85 Overdrive. This remained true through '64.
The BW T-85 standard or Overdrive was much more durable than the BW T-10. The Top Loader Ford 4 speed trans was phased in during '64 to replace the problematic T-10.
So yes the 3 speed w/overdrive and G code 405 horse tri powered 406 was a reality. A much better combination to run 4.56 rear gears with than the 4 speed. |
