This is my first of hopefully many postings. I am a retired mechanical engineer who is beginning to fullfill a lifelong dream of building and driving a '32 Ford Highboy. I want to go somewhat vintage so I have started with a 1946-48, 59A flathead engine now being rebored and modified. Choosing the correct engine components was not to bad by staying with vintage functions, but choosing and finding a transmission has become a nightmare for me. I want to match this engine up to a standard manual 3-speed/od or 4-speed or 5-speed trans. (Preferably from a Ford, but optional.)

Any recommendations from you folks that have more experience than me will be GREATLY appreciated.
