Cruiseomatic vs Fordomatic shift levers
I was recently told that the shift levers on Cruiseomatic transmissions interchange with Fordomatic transmissions. Can anyone verify if this is true? I have a 63 Cruiseomatic in my 59 and would like to install the correct shift lever rather than modifying this one to work with the steering column.
fordomatic to cruiseomatic swap
Hi,
I have a '58 retrac with a 352 interceptor assembled in Nov 1957 with a fordomatic two speed, which had been removed from my car by its previous owner (the original tranny is gone).
I bought a medium case cruise-o-matic from a '64 car and want to fit it into my car.
I know the Q may seem naive but before sending it to my local mechanic I need to know how difficult it is to make the swap work and are there any tricks necessary to avoid possible problems ? Are bell housings interchangeable with similar bolt patterns ?
I read the info on charlietranny and other forums, but haven't found a straight forward answer.
I would appreciate help.
Thank you
Robert
