I had Dan make this toploader for my original 289 Cobra because the original T10 jumped out of 2nd gear despite several attempts to correct the problem. The transmission comes with a Dan Williams custom shifter for a 289 Cobra, based on the Hurst Competition Plus shifter with hardened rods. The shifter is already installed. The shift handle, boot and trim ring are not included.
The transmission has only a few thousand miles of use. I have reinstalled the T10 transmission in my Cobra so I no longer need this transmission.
It has a 1 1/16" diameter input shaft.
It has a 28 tooth second gear which indicates a close ratio gear set.
Toploader 4 speed - Close

1st   2nd   3rd   4th
Ratio   2.32   1.69   1.29   1.00
Tooth Count   32   28   25   23
Counter Gear Tooth Count   15   18   21   25


The body casting is #C4AR-7006-A
This is the narrow body 1964 4 hole maincase with the small O.D. bearing retainer. This 1964 Toploader body 
was used in 1965 and 1966 427 Galaxies when paired with close ratio gears.
This early style maincase was also used on many early Tiger, Fairlane, 1964 1/2 Mustang, Cobra , Galaxie applications with 5 bolt 260 -289 engines.

The tail casting is #C4AR-7A040  A
1964-67 Galaxie 289, 390 and works in the 289 Cobra instead of the T10 used originally.
17" length, 28 spline
I do not know the spline number since you have to take the transmission apart to see that.
There are 3 different lengths of Toploader tailhousings: " 14", 15 1/2" and 17". This one is 17" long.

The overall length of this transmission is 27".
Make sure this will fit your application.
