FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Tim, the '37 flat back sedans are also very nice cars to own. Fordor sedans make great touring cars.

A top loader case with 91A shifting fork and 39-48 gears is what you need. Best top loader case was the 78 prefix, but I believe your case will also work. Transmission mounts are interchangeable, so don’t let that stop you.

Thanks to all for the good advice.. Engine and transmission are out all if one piece and no issues save a little spilt oil. Previous owner had filled the engine with as much oil as he could fit in.
Have removed transmission from the engine, clutch and fly wheel are out as is the starter and exhaust manifolds.
will look into getting a 39 or newer? transmission

Exhaust manifold bolts can become an expensive learning experience for a mechanic unfamiliar with the Ford flathead. The subject deserves more than a quick and simple answer here, so in a nutsh*ll, keep your wits about you when dealing with them.

It sounds like you have removed the floor board and can see the transmission.
The shift mechanism has a cup on top that screws off. Have a magnetic tool near by as there is a small pin on the passenger side of the shift tower that needs to come out on the side --- and not drop into the transmission. If you are rebuilding the transmission it would be OK to fall in there -- but lets not let that happen. The transmission shifter should pull straight up.
OR...........you could just remove the bolts for the transmission top and save the above step.

There is a two piece cover around the front u-joint (just behind the rear end of the transmission) that you will have to remove to get to the u-joint. This is also part of the rear transmission mount.
With the items that you have said you have removed, you should be able to remove the engine and transmission at the same time out the front of the frame. Dont forget to remove the exhaust pipes or exhaust manifolds.
You dont have to do it as one, but if you dont, you will need to support the front of the transmission when pulling the engine.
You will of course need a 'cherry picker' to pull the engine.
You can remove the transmission once the engine is out, through the passenger compartment.

Good luck and remember, the parts are heavy (no open toe shoes)
Hope this helps --and yes, purchase the 1035-1936 Ford Book that the Club offers on the Online Store menu item on the left side of this page.
