Guest Metal Twister Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have a 37 Zephyr that I am working on and need to find out if this is the original transmission or not? The car has had an engine change in its history at some time and I'm not sure if they changed the trans as well? Are there any identifying mark on a 37 Zephyr transmission? Here are a few pics... Thanks in advance for any direction in figuring this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Take a wire brush and clean the area above the clutch inspection plate. There will be numbers/letters stamped there. This will help identify it. Numbers for a Lincoln Zephyr ( 1936-37) would range from "H1" to "H45529". Don't believe this is a Zephyr transmission but an early, pre '37 Ford.

Guest Metal Twister Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I believe your correct. I got the number 1GY 94748 which comes up 1942 Ford 6 cylinder 90 horsepower.

Ken/Alabama Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 6 Cyl for sure. Will not bolt up to a V8 or V12 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNap Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have a 37 sedan I've listed locally on Craigslist. The V12 and 3spd tranny were already pulled when I bought it, but it's there with original patina. The V12/tranny combo however was not original to the sedan (numbers dont match). In fact I have a lot of extra spare parts for a 37, a little 38 stuff too.Contemplating even selling my coupe that requires a total restoration. Work has me travelling too often with a still possible future relocation in the works to think of restoring 1 car much less 2.Let me know if you need anything. Have a good contact for cross country transport also.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leylands Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 This website has helped me to identify transmissions/serial numbers... I am sure it will help others.
