===T-89=== *T-85/89 had a 4th gear added to become the T-10. *The T-89 is a big beefy 3-speed used with many early-to-mid 1960s engines. *Was also used with the Ford 390 (w/overdrive), and with the 394 Olds in the mid 1960s. *Ford was the last to offer them w/overdrive in 1971 pickups. *It’s basically the same tranny as T-89, was also used with Dodge-Plymouth “Max Wedge” 426 engine in 1964. *They had the 9 bolt side cover, but the T-89 shift arms were staggered, not inline like the T-10 and 85. *T-89 and T-10 bolt patterns look very similar also to 1949-'64 Ford pattern. *Was fitted with a B-W overdrive unit on the rear. These didn't bolt to just any tranny, there was an adapter about an inch thick that went between the tranny and overdrive unit. The output shaft of the tranny was shorter and splined to fit the overdrive unit. *The T-89 also was used with the overdrive in the V8 torque tube cars. <br>
