I'm having a hard time finding type F transmission fluid for older (50's) cars I restore. Which modern ATF will work in place?

Anyone tried this stuff? http://www.monsterdiesel.com/about/

http://www.bradpennracing.com/ Is anyone using this oil? I am interested in trying it for use in older flat tappet engines.

It does not consist of mineral oils, solvents, or is not water based as are the majority of the other products in this...

Ha, it's not for the 53, that one gets in the low 20's with the v8 and overdrive. Yes, it is supposed to be a fuel additive for mileage. I was going to try it in my 4runner and Jetta diesel.
