Transmission application?

Post by broke_okie »

I want to put a c6 behind my FE but was told that Ford did not put a c6 behind the FE engines in 4x4's only in the 2wd's. Is this true? If so how would I go about putting one in my 4x4? I have seen them in the 78-79 broncos but they have the 351m and 400m engines.Does anyone make an adapter plate or would I need to get a 2wd donor c6 and swap shafts and stuff from one from a m series or 460 ?

So the 67-72 Ford f100 4x4's came with a c6 transmission...so which transfer case was mated to them?

well all the early 70's 4wd trucks around here that I have seen with the C-6, had a divorced style transfer case. Ie Trans/shaft/transfer case/shaft rear end. I gess if you wanted to use a integrated model you could convert the C-6 by using the adapter off the later broncos or f series.If you have the right out put shaft length on your C-6.
