My 1960 Fairlane 500 has an air cooled 3-speed dual-range cruiseomatic behind its 223, along with a 3.10 final drive. The data plate in the door jamb is coded for this combination, but I have found no reference to this drivetrain combo ever being offered. Even the factory manual only provides info for the six in the 2-speed Fordomatic section, and there is no reference anywhere to the air-cooled torque converter.
I know the six was offered with an air cooled cast iron fordomatic, the cruiseo's immediate predecessor. I suspect the same bellhousing and torque converter from that combo was used on my car.
Has anyone else ever seen or heard of this being done on a factory car?
