Proud Sponsor of the Falcon GT Owners Club of WA (Inc)
Serious about Ford’s — Past, Present and Future.
Presidential Ponderin gs Another month has flown by and October is upon us already. Not a great deal to report this month.
Hopefully this high school dropout hasn’t made too many typos this month.
The clubs weekend away in Donnybrook has been and gone, with a small group of members attending (6
steel and two modern GT’s in attendance). The usual drunken escapades eventuated, but what happens
on the round stays on the road. So if you want find out how much fun we have come and join us for the
next one.
Planning for the trip across to the GT Nationals is just about finalized, so if you want to join the convoy let
me know ASAP. Deadline will be the October meeting.
Don’t forget to support our members participating in the Aussie Muscle Car Run with your donations.
A big thank you to Gary for jumping in the driving seat this month and putting the magazine together whilst
our editor is away enjoying himself. It’s not the first time Gary has done this so thank you again Gary. The
club wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for members like Gary and a few others continually giving up
their time for the club and mentoring newbies like myself.
Keep those photos, stories, jokes, what’s hidden in your shed etc. coming in so we’ve got something
besides adverts to read in the magazine.
Drive safe and see you on the road in your GT.
Regards Rob
E ditorial Not mcuh of an Etodirail tihs mnoth, our uausl Etodir has bzezud off to Bali to saok up smoe Sun!!
I only volunteered to assemble the magazine and not write screeds about the goings on in the
world.
I did find an interesting article when looking through the latest SA Club Magazine, so with their
kind permission I have added the article to our magazine. The article has been put together by
Peter Polson (an ex-President of the SA Club) and is one of many he has done. This one is on
the Toploader, so hopefully some of you will find it interesting.

Request from Roy Lane re 404 Concession
Roy Lane has requested to put 5 of his pre 76 GT’s onto concession code 404. It was noted that
although Roy doesn’t attend meetings, he is very supportive of the club and the AFD and has
contributed to the club in many ways. One of the cars is actually a 71 Fairlane
Committee discussed – stumblking block may be how the cars are currently registered. If they are
registed in a company name, then wont be able to put them on 404 concession. Rob to follow up
licensing status of the vehicles with Roy prior to committee decision being made.
Postage Costs to Metro Members
Due to ever increasing postage costs, Gary has suggested that we start saying to ALL metro area
members that they need to collect Welcome Pack, Magazines, Membership Cards etc from the
Club during a Sunday Meeting, if not they pay postage. – suggested $20 per year for magazine,
$10 for membership welcome pack, $2 for Membership Card. No Charge applicable to regional
Members.
Committee discussed and came to view that this was fair, and that Metro Members should pay for
postage if they choose not to attend Monthly meetings to collect items.
Email from Warren Postumus(?) re: award for his car.
The club received an email from Warren Postumus noting that he was disappointed that he never
received a club award for the restoration of his GT, and was there a chance the club could send
him one. He noted that his restored car was debuted at the Tambellup Show in 2009. Warren also
noted that he is not renewing his club membership, and is therefore no longer a member of the
club.
Extensive discussion about the request occurred. It was pointed out in discussions, that to the best
of the clubs knowledge, no before / after photos of the car were ever submitted to the club (as per
the club rules for nomintating to receive an award).
The committee came to the consensus not to present an award to Warren for his car, primarily on
the basis that a) he is no longer a member of the club and b) club requirements for submitting
before/after photos of the car were not met.
Committee also noted that if Warren had continued his membership, and was also able to provide
the club with before / after photo’s of the car (as per club award requirements), then the club would
be able to present an award to Warren as part of this years awards at the AGM.

CMC Delegates Report:
AHMH - still in turmoil – looking for new person to perform delegate’s role
Concenssion 404 – DoT business plan is now complete, but not yet distributed or
implemented. Waiting on updates to DoT TRELLIS System before can implement.
Have been some changes in relation to Test + Tune – now limited to 30Km max radius from
storage location of vehicle. This has caused concern amongst member clubs. CMC have raised
concerns with DoT but DoT are standing firm on rules. Noted that can do test+tune further than
30km, but will need to be minitued in club meeting minutes. Gary noted that this requirement has
been part of the GT Club Concession regs for a while now, so shouldn’t cause too many issues.
Questions were asked from the floor re: penalties if caught in breach of rules. If deemed to have
broken rules, then owner/driver will be deemed to be driving an unlicensed vehicle – whatever the
standard penalty for this offence will then apply.
DoT had noted that similar limits (re test+tune) existed in other states – some are as low as 15km,
others up to 45km, so the 30Km limit set for WA was deemed to be fair.
New 404 Concession applications will require a stat dec to be completed prior to the vehicle being
accepted for concession under new rules – existing 404 concession cars should be ok.
Alen queried the current club guidelines for clarification. Current club rules state 404 concession
can be used for Sanctioned club events and Test + Tune. Frequency for test and tune is not
defined. Gary noted that the end result once the new system is implemented is that should provide
more clarity around what the rules are, and re-enforces that the onus is on the vehicle owner to
ensure they are doing the right thing. As always, recommended to always keep a copy of the club
calendar in the glove box!
All Ford Day:
No significant update. Meeting locations will be announced at the next club meeting.
Suggestion was made that we should perhaps look at getting club trailer / bbq to the destination
for a sausage sizzle – consensus from the floor was to take the trailer / bbq and do a sausage
sizzle.
General Business
GT Nationals
Show of hands requested for those planning on driving to the Nationals – a number of members
are planning on driving. Rob suggested a list of points to be aware of be put together and
distributed to those driving.
Alen suggested a detour to the NT on the way to visit the unlimited section of the highway J
Jan – volunteered to come up with a list of spare parts that should be carried within the group
driving. Suggestion that each person driving supplies a couple of parts on the list, so that everyone
is not doubling up
Rooms – See Rob after the meeting if you have a query about, or need a room at the nationals.
Club Trailer / BBQ
Alen P suggested its about time the club trailer be cleaned out again, and any gear we no longer
use / need be removed / thrown out. One example of gear no longer required is the angled
aluminium display poles – these apparently cant be used anymore, as most rules state that poles
need to be vertical (not angled).
Discussion was also held regarding replacing the BBQ.
General consensus was that the BBQ should be replaced, and the trailer cleaned out.

Brilliant Beijing Hotel Brochure - Translated as only they can. A friend went to Beijing recently and was given this brochure by the hotel. It is precious. She is keeping it and reading it whenever she feels depressed. Obviously, it has been translated directly, word for word from Mandarin to English. Getting There: Our representative will make you wait at the airport. The bus to the hotel runs along the lake shore. Soon you will feel pleasure in passing water. You will know that you are getting near the hotel, because you will go round the bend. The manager will await you in the entrance hall. He always tries to have intercourse with all new guests. The Hotel: This is a family hotel, so children are very welcome. We of course are always pleased to accept adultery. Highly skilled nurses are available in the evenings to put down your children. Guests are invited to conjugate in the bar and expose themselves to others. But please note that ladies are not allowed to have babies in the bar. We organize social games, so no guest is ever left alone to play with them self. The Restaurant: Our menus have been carefully chosen to be ordinary and unexciting. At dinner, our quartet will circulate from table to table, and fiddle with you. Your Room: Every room has excellent facilities for your private parts. In winter, every room is on heat. Each room has a balcony offering views of outstanding obscenity! .. You will not be disturbed by traffic noise, since the road between the hotel and the lake is used only by pederasts. Bed: Your bed has been made in accordance with local tradition. If you have any other ideas please ring for the chambermaid. Please take advantage of her. She will be very pleased to squash your shirts, blouses and underwear. If asked, she will also squeeze your trousers. Above All: When you leave us at the end of your holiday, you will have no hope. You will struggle to forge
FORDS VENERABLE TOPLOADER As we all know, our treasured GT Falcons all came with a Toploader gearbox if a manual transmission was
specified. Here is a brief history of the iconic Toploader.
A Toploader transmission is a manually shifted three and four speed gearbox introduced in 1964 by
the Ford Motor Company to replace the BorgWarner T-10. It was used in most Fords and Mercurys in the
US from 1964 until 1973 as well as some models here in Australia. The Ford F100 early versions were 3
speeds, some later ones came with an overdrive.
Officially designated the 3.03 three speed or Ford design four speed, the Toploader got its name from
the fact that the access plate to the inner workings was located on the top of the main case as opposed to
the side, a convention used on most gearboxes such as the Ford Dagenham or GM's Saginaw or Muncie.
This feature increased the rigidity of the case significantly. Distinguishing the three speed from the four is
as simple as counting the fasteners on the top plate. The four speed has ten; the three, nine. Both the three
and four speed top loader gearboxes were designed to function in constant mesh, due to synchronizer
sleeves being used instead of sliding gears, and be fully synchronized, with the exception of reverse.
Forward gears are helical-type while reverse gear including the exterior of the first and second
synchronizers sleeve are spur-type gears. This transmission is also known as the Tremec T-170, HEH, or
RUG depending on the year(s) of production
All of us know our beloved Falcon GT’s were built for a purpose (win on Sunday sell on Monday) & were a
direct link to the sale of would be racer cars .
Over the years many cars have had gearbox changes & the information you are about to read gives you an
insight on the US supplied boxes and where and what cars they may have originated from.
You may be in the need to replace a missing or incorrect toploader back into your beloved Falcon GT.
There are several versions of the Ford Toploader available, depending on the original application, and
some will be better suited to your conversion than others. Input shaft spline-count and length, overall
transmission length and ratio are all important factors.
Although many of these variables can be altered with the purchase of additional parts, finding the
Toploader that is the most compatible with your body style and engine specifications will make the
conversion easier and less costly.
Tremec built the Toploader for Ford; the correct model designation is T-170. These were arguably the
strongest four-speeds made in the '60s, and the design is still used by NASCAR race teams today behind
their high-performance 8,000 rpm engines. The T-170 four-speed unit was also the design basis for the
Tremec TR-3550 and TKO aftermarket five-speed manual transmissions.
Ford Australia used these Gearboxes as in the US with great success in passenger cars & early 60’s
F100’s & heavy duty vehicles from Ford.
For the upcoming newly designed Mustang Breed Falcon these four-speeds would be used in 1967 to-1974
Ford cars and were also found in Ford F100 to F350 light trucks up until 1987.
You can even find them in Jeeps up until 1984 although the input shafts need some shortening if you were
to put one in a F100 or your beloved Falcon GT.
The forward transmission gears are fully synchronized.
Input shafts were 10-spline, with two possible shaft diameters, 11/16-inch or 13/8-inch, depending on the
engine size of the vehicle in which it was originally installed.
The smaller 11/16-inch input shafts were used in six-cylinder applications, small-block V-8s and the larger
spline shaft was used with engines larger than the higher output motors.
All Toploaders after 1965 featured an eight-bolt mounting pattern, although some early 1964 transmissions
did have four-bolt mounting. The eight-bolt mount was developed for replacing both the early and late bolt
patterns.
Toploader transmissions were available in three different lengths.
American Mustangs, Falcons, Comets and 1966 and up Fairlanes and the AC Cobra used a 24-inch case.
The earlier 1964 and 1965 Fairlanes used a 25½-inch unit, also used in some sports cars, such as the TVR
and the Sunbeam Tiger.
Full-size Fords and Mercurys, such as Torino, Mercury Cyclone and Galaxie models, used a 27-inch unit.
Both wide- and close-ratio gearsets were offered. Output shafts can have either a 28- or 31-spline count to
accept the driveshaft yoke.
The depth of the input shaft pilot varies between the engine sizes, as well. Six-cylinder and small-block
input shafts have 11/8-inch spacing before the taper of the spline begins; big-block input shafts have only
¾-inch of pilot spacing. Toploaders are not as heavy as some automatic transmissions, but still weigh close
to 180 pounds (including bellhousing, clutch assembly and shifter) because of their cast-iron housings.
Earlier 1964-'67 Toploader units were designated by an HEH transmission code; '68 and later units were
coded RUG. These code numbers can be found on a tag riveted to the Drivers side (Aus) of the
transmission case, just behind the bellhousing mounting surface. Check the RUG-coded transmissions
carefully, because there were some three-speed overdrive units that used a similar transmission code
designation. These non-Toploader units carry codes of RUG-CL, RUG-CA, RUG-CD or RUG-BP on the
tag.
These transmissions look like the Toploader at first glance, but only use a four-bolt mounting flange. In
addition, the speedometer pickup is on the passenger side of the transmission, rather than the driver's side
as on all conventional four-speed units.
These faux-Toploaders were made in Mexico in the late '70s and are found most often in Econolines or
light-duty pickups, but some found their way into Monarchs, Granadas, and Fairmonts. You should also be
able to spot these impostors by the tailshaft housing, marked with a D7, D7D, D7T, D8 or D9 casting.
All true Toploaders built after July 1, 1971, have a spark-control sender on the side of the case, and fourspeed Toploader units built after December 1, 1971, had a seat-belt warning system switch on the case as
well. These are just a few good clues to identifying the age of the transmission you're looking at.
Look under the following donor cars for a four-speed Toploader:
1964-'73 Mustang
1964-'70 Comet, Falcon and Fairlane
1971-'73 Torino and Montego
1964-'67 Full-size Mercury
1964-'69 Full-size Ford and Galaxie
1970-'75 Maverick and Comet
1978-'87 Ford pickups with an RUG identification code
1980-'84 Jeep w/ T-170 transmission
Shifter positions were slightly different in each model, depending on the shifter's location on the
transmission tunnel. Falcon shifters were closer to the dashboard; shifters on the Cougars and Mustangs
were mounted further back, towards the tailshaft. In Ford pickup applications, the shifter was in the center.
Many of the smaller 1-1/16-inch input-spline Toploaders had the wide-ratio gearsets (2.78:1), but the larger
13/8-inch input spline units were all of the close-ratio (2.32:1) variety. The close-ratio units are more
popular, but they're also harder to find. Additionally, most of the 31-spline units are typically close-ratio,
whereas the 28-spline output-shaft units are usually wide-ratio. Gearing for these two ratios are as follows:
Close-Ratio Gearing
Wide-Ratio Gearing
1st 2.78
1st 2.32
2nd 1.93
2nd 1.69
3rd 1.36
3rd 1.29
4th 1.00
4th 1.00
These four-speed units will bolt into your existing period Ford standard-shift bellhousing. There were,
however, 18 different Ford bellhousings used from 1963 to 1973 that will accept the transmission--but they
may not necessarily match your block's bolt pattern. You can get an aftermarket Lakewood or McLeod
bellhousing to fit most of these applications. Lakewood offers four replacements for stock 1960s and early
'70s Ford engines, plus another for adapting a Toploader to the late-model (1979-'95) small-block Mustangs
or Capris.
We contacted several vendors of Toploader transmissions to see what is still available in used as well as
new units for a Toploader conversion, and we found several who still offer used, rebuilt and even new units.
So that’s a brief overview of the Toploader’s beginnings,
I will be putting another article together on a Toploader Rebuild soon.
Till next time..
