I bought a rebuilt 302 and c6 out of a van, however the c6 needs a band and a torque converter and to fit in my 68 would need the driveshaft shortened and linkage reworked if im not mistaken. I also have the c4 from my inline which Ive heard with a v8 bellhousing, TC, and another clutch in 3rd gear is the same as a v8 C4. My question is can I beef up my c4 and mate it to the c6 flywheel or am I going to need a different flywheel and starter?

I switched from a C6 to a C4 a few years ago. Used the same flex plate and a 164 tooth bell housing. Same starter. You can beef up the 6 cylinder C4 by adding the extra clutch or 2 the the direct drum. ------------------

So I will buy the bell housing and let the shop sort out the TC. Is this the correct bellhousing? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5GDX-Ford-C4-C-4-Bell-Housing-Bellhousing-302V8-E2AP-CA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33727QQitemZ7986827566QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
The depth of housing will be offset on the motor mounts right?[This message has been edited by chandler (edited 07-31-2005).]

No. That's NOT the right bell housing. That is a C5 bell. The depth will be wrong. You need one that is dated in the 70s. Not in the 80s. You need this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-C4-164-tooth-bell- housing-12_W0QQitemZ4564589858QQcategoryZ34208QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-C4-164-tooth-bell- housing-10_W0QQitemZ4564589972QQcategoryZ34208QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-C4-164-tooth-bell-h ousing-6_W0QQitemZ4564590437QQcategoryZ34208QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ------------------

Is there anywhere I can get a stock torque converter, all i find in my parts cataloges are performance ones for like 300$$ a little out of my price range. 11 7/16 bolt circle 24 spline
Or would this be a better choice http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-C4-66-69-stall-Torque-Converter-hurst_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46098QQitemZ7990850639QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW[This message has been edited by chandler (edited 08-03-2005).]

If you have a local transmission place you trust, see if they can alter one for you.------------------

There arent any outstanding transmission shop around here to my knowledge. Would the ebay TC work or would it be to much stall for daily driving

It's not too much stall. Just run a cooler. ------------------
