Re: 6 Speed Transmission in 70 F100
How much is it going to cost to purchase the transmission and to put it in? Will you do the work yourself? If it cost's you $1500 total to do the swap, and you get an extra 2 mpg, it may take you a long time to pay yourself back, depending on how much you drive it. But, if you are looking for an excuse to start a project, then...TALLYHO!

Re: 6 Speed Transmission in 70 F100
I have sadly since sold my truck but the 6 speed was terrific. It was a Tremec Magnum. I had to buy a different bellhousing and go with a hydraulic clutch, but the set up was top notch. I can't recall all the numbers, but at 80 mph it was humming along at something around 2k rpms. It got around 13 mph on the highway with a built 390, 600 cfm Holley, and a 4:11 rear gear.CobrajetMach1 wrote:Any updates on the 6 speed ?
