Technical 352 Ford Stick to auto?

My wife has an F 100 with a 352 4 speed. She wants an automatic because she is getting old. I have a friend with a C4 . I'm not a Ford guy so I'm not sure if it will work. I thought we would get a Gennie shifter that will go through the floor hole and leave the 3 peddles.

Question: Is the crank the same and will it bolt up? what about the drive shaft, longer, shorter, different yoke?

This was my wife's dads truck and has the granny low ******. Kind of a pain for a ready to retire lady. ( did I put that nice enough not to get in trouble?)

Thanks

 

The C-4 will not bolt up to the FE. There might be an adapter made?? One more thing, there was a bolt pattern change in the mid 60s for these engines, so if uyou use an adapter make sure it's the right one.

The easiest, option...live with the T98.

Cruisomatic,C-6 and FMX transmissions were offered with the FE.

 

I am putting a C6 behind my Fe, but note you need a c6 that was originally behind one, some were for the other ford motors and won't work.

@FrozenMerc can you clarify

 

Thanks, that is what I needed to know.

 

And either way, the driveshaft will need to be shortened with the automatic.

 

Here goes, this may ***ist. FF style C6 case / bellhousing

 

I have a rebuildable c6 from a 76 f100 with a 360 you scan have if you want to come to the Hutchinson swap meet in October.

 

A C4 will bolt up to a FE just fine if you have the correct bellhousing. I have been running one behind my race car for years.... Performance Automatic a**** others make the correct bellhousing...
