    Oh wow, you are really digging back into our brain archives now. I remember they used to put Zephyr gears into early Ford boxes for a better gear ratio mix, but don't remember about using the Zephyr transmissions alone.

    Figured I would give this one a bump to let some of the others get a chance to see it. Good luck.

    I've been doing some digging on the internet for you on this, and everything discussed using the gears only to create a more close ratio box out of a '39 Ford tranny. There was one Zephyr box on ebay that sold for $ 400, and it had 3 blown gears, so it looks like they bring fair money. Buy them both just to be safe.

    Price has gone up. In '65 I bought a 39 box with Zephyr gears from Ford Parts Obsolete in Bell, Ca. for $40 and put it behind the sbc I was running in my 36 coupe.
