    I would like the details on exactly what transmission this is. This was behind my flathead. I am switching to a 5 speed.
    thanks,
    skinny

    But don't C4s have a removable bell housing?
     
  5. It is a latter version of the Wastneys Smith's the more common version looked like this:

    Sorry I just could not resist. yes judging the separate bell housing it is a Ford C4, I can't begin to tell you what the bell fits though.

    The yolk looks like the type used on a Lincoln with a velocity joint.

    [​IMG]I believe this is a picture of a 700r4.
     
  8. They do, but if you look close, you can see the 'seam' between the case and the bell. Depending on the year/variation of the C4, this joint can be less obvious on some than others. Bellhousing-to-trans-case bolts are inside the bell.

    The FMX is more 'conventional' looking, having external attaching bolts on 'ears' between the trans case and the bell.

    518 chrysler is pretty stout.
     
  12. I was talking practicality, I just don't have any use for an AOD. Generally speaking that is, they have their place just not under the floor of my hot rod. ;)

    All the markings and castings say C 4 late 70's maybe with the tab on the tail shaft that the antivibration bar bolts to an the balancer on the yoke. My daughter's 78 Monarch had both of those.
    Still I'd want to see if the adapter had any numbers cast or stamped into it that could id the application.

    With my sore hip I was thinking this morning on the way to work in my 5 speed ot woopit car that I may have to forgo stick transmission and go automatic for self survival.
     
  14. I would say that old age is a ***** but my left leg has been on its way out since I was in my 30s. I actually had to p*** on a 360 powered CJ6 when I was in my 40s because I could not depress the clutch well enough to actually drive it. :eek: :(

    The outside of the ****** in question looks really nice, but that makes it under su****ion to a guy like me, give me a nasty dirty one any day.

    I know the dipstick in the pan was mostly in trucks, but I have seen one in a 63 Galaxy behind a 352 FE. If memory serves the C3 did not have a removable bell, and was the replacement for the FMX.

    Thanks guys. I have a few more pics and information. I am looking for the year and what it came in as close as we can figure out. There is a large 3 on top of bell housing and DOT P-797 AA3 in the area where it bolts up to the transmission. The lettering on the transmission by the imput shaft reads RE-C4 AP-7A-105A. From the drawings of the pan gasket it definitely fits the C4, C5 drawing. Not to digress but check out the stand. Put together using 4 scissor jacks. 2 joined front to back with a coupler on each side then those 2 joined together with sprockets and chain to link the two side together. I crank raises everything equally and level. I will be converting this to a motor stand for my flathead. As far as too clean, I have a real problem washing stuff. Trying to get over it!

    Not sure that's a 0, looks like a damaged 6. D6 =1976. The T indicates truck application, the H servo was also common on truck C4's. Good base for a high performance c4 build. The truck application had the most disks in the clutch packs, and the the H servo has a large apply area to hold the band.
