Thanks for your reply. Only found one rebuilder in the Waco, TX area. Had the trans rebuilt and it has died again and am not confident in the rebuilder after all the problems I have had since rebuild. The Bird is continuing to be rebuilt on small areas but the trans is essential. Any info is appreciated.I a not sure you will be gaining anything. The Ford-o-matic you need has long been out of production it sounds like your rebuilder did not do a stellar job as these transmissions are normally reliable if not abused. You did not say where you are located, but I am sure you can find an old school rebuilder in your area that can make your current transmission run like new. I have one in my town, but they are getting harder to find.
Don’t replace the original main case away. The T bird main case the cooling line exits the rear,in order to miss the X-frame . Learned from experience.I a not sure you will be gaining anything.
