Cast Iron Ford Case Identification

Cast Iron Ford transmissions can be identified by the letter code on the tag which is located on the side of the transmission case. The codes shown below reference the letter codes from the case.

Cases can also be identified by the case measurement from front to back, not including the bell housing or rear pump section.
