where to look

how do i know what tranny i got?
its a 62 falcon clubwagon
the engine is not the original (and i still dont know what i got)
its 3 sp manual

im looking to get the rear seal price on the autozone page
and its asking if its the Warner T86 transmission,
or this T89 transmission,
or Warner model T87 transmission.
i walked to the store and they dont have any of the seals so that i can compare them with the one the van has
thanks..

Though the early falcons came with the "T3" or Type "C" Tranny...
and I believe your motor would be one of these.
144 cid I6
170 cid I6
240 cid I6

how would i know the difference between the three ?

What color is you Engine block and Rocker cover?
And what's your VIN#

the engine block is blue,
the cover has orange under blue paint (repainted at some point)
and the vin is E13TH231788
hope this helps.
thanks

Can you post a pic of the engine? Are you looking for the rear seal on the trans? What is the number cast on your engine block, head, intake manifold? All of these will help. If the trans is original this should be easy.
Most likely: BCA/NATIONAL Part # 470059

the intake number is C3De-6090-Dx5

(where can i find the engine and head numbers)

i was thinking of just getting the rear one, but its better if i just put them all.

beanses, If you can answer these questions. I can tell you all about your veh.

Block number will be found below the manifolds, near the oil pan. If the trans is hanging from the original mount it is likely original and the above part number should be correct, it is the only one listed for the Econoline in 62. Your engine is a 63-65 200CID based on the intake number. Hopefully they only replaced the engine, in 65 there are 5 choices for the output shaft seal!

Good Luck,
Rip

Unless something has been changed... he know's the engine is not original.

It's ok, They color coded the engines. We can still let him know what size puppy he's got in that dog house.....

Unless it was a complete conversion... Then who knows.

well, the engine block is blue, the cover has orange with blue on top and the vin # is E13TH231788
the trans is hanging from that support,
are there any numbers on the trans case to look for?
i have to clean that engine really good, but the wether...

Well, looks like you have a "260 cid"Challenger V8"

And this is what it had origunally
TH - V8 292 CID 1x2BBL 175 hp Export 1-2BBL

well that just blew me off.
its not a v8.its a I6 and if the TH means that, then i have to check on the previous owner and see what happened...

Dan, are you alright man, this is a van we are talking about... they didn't come with V8 engines.

Beanses, according to your VIN, you have a 62 Falcon Club Wagon. The 'T' means it came with a 170 CID 6cyl engine and the 'H' means it was built by the Ford factory in Lorain, OH. If you can give me the other two lines on your VIN plate, I can tell you more.

Research your VIN here.

Thanks boroop, I didn't have that link, I was using a factory manual.

Since you have what seems to be the original transmission here's a link to Advance Auto's website with the part you need. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/ProductList.aspx?PartType=1203&PTSet=A I bought one from them a few years ago at a local store. It fit perfect. The original transmission in 61/62 is a non-synchro type with a solid driveshaft, yoke slides into the transmission. This is what you should have. If not they could have also switched the transmission also. In 63/64 they changed to a driveshaft with a slip yoke in it and a full synchro transmission which has the u-joint bolted to it. Both use the same single bolt donut style hanger mount. In 65/67 the mount style was changed.
