Ford muscle cars of the 1960s helped the Toploader trans-mission quickly gain a reputation as the best of Detroit’s new 4-speeds. Introduced in 1964, this transmission was an immediate upgrade over prior models, and it paired well with Ford engines, such as the 289, 302, 351 (Windsor and Cleveland), 390, 427,428, and 429 (Cobra Jet and Boss). The Toploader manual transmission was used in cars from Cobras to Galaxies and was mandatory equipment in the Boss cars. The simplicity of the Top-loader transmission lends to an easy understanding of its operating procedure within its effective design. Even though the transmissionwas phased out toward the end of the muscle-car era (1973), theToploader is still alive and well today, shifting race cars and perfor-mance cars with speed and ease.

This book features step-by-step procedures in an easy-to-follow format by award-winning motorsports author John Carollo.

Upgrading a Toploader is also covered using today’s modern parts to keep this versatile transmission relevant.
