    I have the 3spd plus od that I took out of an 82 f-100 that had a v6 4spd. I know a lot of guys are using these transmissions in their mavericks but wanted to be shure this one would work before I listed it. Here is a pic

    isn't that the same transmission you are running. I just wanted to make sure that since it came from a v6 that it would work behind a v8. I am nt up on manual tranmissions. lol

    Yes, it will work. But that 82 F100 had a straight six, not a V6.

    Never seen nor heard of a V6 in pickups until the 97's came out. Could be it was a Canadian only thing ? Every one I've ever seen had a 300 I6 in it.
