I have found an C/M from 1965 Model. It does have a Torque Convertor available. If using that Convertor I would need what for a Flex Plate? Looking at Picture online I can see how close they are in Appearance to my F/M. Casting # on Case is C5AP-7006-A. This would be a C/M as FMX wasn't until 1968?  Will the Shift Lever on Side Interchange with F/M if this is a Floor Shift Model? Will my Driveshaft still work or is the Output Spline Different and simply needs the Yoke replaced?

My  take on the tough parts of the FMX swap are as follows

You need a Y Block fordomatic bell housing and need to drill to match 2 of the FMX mounting holes

You need a 58 - 62  Y block flex plate (hard to find)  Since the Y used the same starter 56 thru 62 it should work fine
 
The FMX convertor must be a small block type with a 1.375 pilot and will need a bushing to fit the Y block 1.572" Pilot recess in the crankshaft Note: the FE series engines had a 1.848" Pilot and cannot be used in the swap.  Anyone know of an available bushing for this swap??

Rear mount will have to be fabricated as the FMX tailshaft is shorter than the FordOmatic  (or swap output shaft and tail housing)

Linkages,  kickdown and cooler lines need to be addressed but are no big problem

I have all the parts gathered except for the convertor bushing,  anyone know where I can find 1.  Finding someone around here to machine 1 is next to impossable

For a convertor bushing: Why couldn't a common, inexpensive off the shelf bronze Y-block pilot bushing be bored to the proper size to clear the FMX convertor hub?

I am looking at an C/M not FMX.I don't think there is as much required to use the FMX. John will know. Just waiting to hear His response. Dearborn U used an C/M.

Did You try Flat-O Products. He seems to have a lot of Stuff for doing Swaps.

That message was for Kevink1955 who is trying to come up with such a bushing. I need to learn how to direct a reply to a specific post.

I knew that. I just gave Him a Suggestion where He might find One. U did this Swap with a C/M . Your description seems much simpler than using a FMX.

as far as using a pilot bushing which is bronze it would be so thin after drilling it would probably break during instillation.

That Flex Plate is a hard One to find as I am finding out. B8A-6375-D. There's all kinds of Posts on the Internet with People looking for One. Too bad its not available Repro. The One for 332,352, 430 with COM (B8A-6375-B) is made as a Repro but not the One for Y-Block. I might have to rethink this and maybe look at a C-4 conversion instead.

Why not look for a transmission out of a 61 or 62 ford car? (with a 292) it bolts in as is.
