And yes, although not very common, the speed manual was available in the "Squarebirds", I saw one a few weeks ago, that had a 3 speed manual with a column shifter.

The Guide (and I should mention again that I have referred to the very useful edition at Class Racer Info) provides three pages of full-size 1960 Ford combinations that are legal to use the 352/360. Likely not all were ever actually produced but you are allowed to put one together.

Factors range from the Series 6 Custom Sedan 2 Dr MT @ 10.12 (D/E/F) to the Country Squire 4 Dr Nine Seat Station Wagon AT @ 12.03 (H/I/J)
