"   Not a rumor. Back in the 70's when I raced the Go-Jo Racing Team "Were

just ran across this: http://www.automaticchoice.com/Catalogue/fmx.pdf
you can also find bw12.pdf there.

the fmx still shares a lot of bw internals like frictions and steels,
but it has more of them, 7-8 vs. 3-4.  and this bit of identification:
case length	model
9 7/8"		fx '51-'67, fmx '68-'81
10 3/16"	mx '55-'71
11 1/2"		lincoln turbo drive '55-'65

lincolns weighed 3 tons empty and had 430-cube v8s.  not a performance
application, but that sort of stress has its own demands...

i expect the iron warners are also 9 7/8" long.
