    He kept asking me about my flywheel size. I told him I have a 50oz 164 tooth flywheel andbge seems to think thetrans clutch and pressure plate won't work with my flywheel.
    Is the t10 a truck trans?

    T10's are car transmissions and like the Muncie there are different levels. T10 is a great transmission and the Super T10 is just that much better!

    The spine count of the clutch disc needs to match the input shaft, but that's it.

    Am I correct in thinking that the T10 had a cast steel case and the Super T10 was aluminum? If so any other differences?

    The 1957-1965 models use a Thrust Bearing between 2nd and 3rd gears, the '66-'69 don't use a Thrust Bearing.

    Does the T10 have the 6 bolt bellhousing butterfly bolt pattern? If it has the earlier 5 bolt square pattern, make sure your bellhousing has the correct bolt pattern. Some bellhousings have both drilled, some don't. I also thought 5 bolt bellhousing T10's (as well as the earlier Ford tranny's) have a different length input shaft. Check it all out.

    Good info...

    I'm 99% the later T-10 had both patterns but don't believe input depth is a problem unless maybe is a big block version... While they hold up OK behind a small block, was fairly easy to rip 2nd and cluster out when power shifting a healthy big block...

    I'm thinking the T10's input retainer has a different OD than the Toploader's too, might want to measure the hole in the bell and the T10's retainer before bolting it all up and driving it.
