i have a 73 f 100 that came factory with a 360 3 speed i bought a 351 windsor with a c 6 for 125 dollars i swapped engine and tranny out but found out that the c 6 shift linkage is locked up wont move by hand so i was needing to know could i use the 3 speed tranny on the 351w and if so what do i need to get to get it bolted up and the bell housing will it match up since it came from a 360 block the engine runs great it has a 283 cam and lifter set and a four barrel holly carb with vacuum secondaries

dssiegrist,

could i use the 3 speed tranny on the 351w and if so what do i need to get to get it bolted up

The 360 engine is of the "FE" family, the 351W is of the "Windsor" family.
Two different engine families, I don't believe they will bolt up without changing the bellhousing on the 3-speed.
Here's a little more information:

Why not just drop the pan on the C6 and see where the linkage is binding up? It might be something very simple to fix.

YEAH! Keiths onto something. Why swap everything when it could be a 1/2 hour fixee. Good luck, Jake
