Paul,
        Do you have part numbers and any relative data  like gear ratios for the
Ford planetary family of gear sets?  Thanks for any help.

There are basically two useful planet sets. The ratio depend on how you
set them up. 

The aft planet set Tracy uses can be set up at 2.17:1 carrier fixed and 3.17:1 ring gear fixed.
The forward planet set can be set up at 1.85:1 carrier fixed and 2:85:1 ring gear fixed.

They come in two versions. Four planet and six planet.

I don't have the part numbers but Slauson Transmission Parts com can
tell you what they are.
