Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build
Just remember, as a rule, a one piece rear seal is the 50 oz. imbalance, and the 2 piece seal is 28 oz.
Flexplates can be had in either configuration.

Well, I've always said that FFFFord guys are "different".

Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build
So, the pan fill, 28oz, 157t transmission turned out to be...a case fill with a plug where the dipstick tube goes. Just wow.
But it gets better, got it installed and the shifter linkage on the tranny is different than the old one so I'm modifying that to work. Went to bolt on the starter, one hole is stripped in the bell housing. Was going to drill/tap and put a bigger bolt in but instead cleaned up the bell and used a nut and bolt. Seriously getting tired of this. Spending the whole summer in the garage 8-12hr's a day and ignoring everything else. Wife even commented I haven't even taken the tire chains off the tractor yet! lol. Funny part was, I told the wife about the underdog escort that is for sale in florida and she said :just go buy it and race that, then we can do other stuff this summer too". She's not wrong. Anyway, tranny and converter are in as well as the valve body so now it's just finishing it all up and then get to work on the rear end.

Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build
Yup, column shift uses a different "arm" than a floor shift trans, but aftermarket shifter may change things.
