RE:Whatever, it's cool

I guess I meant the little bit of refurbishing you did with the engine, i.e, tidying it up a bit. Altogether, it's just such a cool car. About that cast iron Fordo....Might the '58 rust bucket Country Sedan parts wagon I have up on blocks back in the bone yard have this trans? It's a four door so not worth all of the rust repair needed. It's an early '58, production in 10/57, 352 Police Interceptor, Machine C-chambers, solid lifters, Carter AFB 4V that I believe to be the original carb. It has a Fordomatic trans which I've never given too much recognition to. Just blocked 'er up to have easy access to the rear end when needed. Have started to tear the engine down so as to store the heads in the shop. It looked to be virgin. Not driven since '67. Bent push rod on #5 exhaust. I was surprised to see the solids are the Shell style of lifters. So my question is, is this a good, valuable transmission? Would this be a fun trans to build w/the 352 if I should ever find that dream '58 or '59 sedan like yours?
This thread, so far...
