Greetings,

I have a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500XL and want to replace the Cruise O Matic (floor shift) with a transmission with overdrive. The engine is a 390 and it will remain.

I'm interested in any advise anyone has to offer....what to purchase, how much fabrication, what is the best fit, where to purchase etc...

Thanks!!!!

One difficulty will be getting a FE bell housing. It is probably an expensive adapter to bolt a 4R70W to a FE block. A Gear Vendors Overdrive unit may be the most cost effective and least effort to achieve overdrive. Turn your three speed into a six speed.
