" IIRC, it was the trans from a Granada or Mopar (one of the Aspen
" wagons that didn't go to Iran in the 70s) The assembly where the shift
" linkage attaches to the side came off to allow access to the gears.
" Same thing on the 3 speed I took out. I didn't even have to change the
" driveshaft (when I put the C4 in later, I only needed to change the
" yoke)

that sounds like a new process [mopar] a833.  meatiest 4sp used in
cars.  made for the hemi.  didn't know there were any ford versions,
though gm used them in diesel pickups in the early '80s.

" " I believe I had a T-96 in my '66 Fairlane (3 speed with 289)

" " I swapped it out for a 4 speed side loader (the one with 4th gear as

"  
" curious - the only side loader i know ford used was the t-10, until
" replaced by the toploader in the mid '60s, but it never had an o/d
" setup.  the toploader did, in late '70s granadas and late '70s - '80s
" pickups.
