    Greetings my Maverick brothers and Sisters (if there are any here). New Member in Hawaii and happy to be apart of the Family. I have had this 71 for a long time now and finally getting it almost presentable... 302, 3 speed, nothing special done to it but just found a 4 speed that was hooked to a 67 mustang with a 289..... will this bolt up to my 302 or do i need a magic wand??

    Hey SlotlessMan, looks like you have exactly what I am trying to get to.... Is that 4 speed in the floor that I see?? mine is a 71 and i think i just found a 4 speed at a junk yard, just got to take the time to go see it..... did you have any issues hooking it up to the 302? Details please..... :nailbiting:

    Yes, it is a 4 speed from a 66 Fairlane. My car was a floor auto so finding the parts was the hardest part. Since yours is ready to go, it should be a snap.

    There are good and bad Toploaders that you can get. Ask questions here and here are a couple other sites I found useful...
