Thank you! --Previous Message-- : Jim, a C4 from a 200 through 1979 or : so will bolt up to the engine. : You'll need to buy or make a mount : adapter unless you find a : transmission from a '65 Falcon or a : '64-65 Comet. Look for a : transmission from a column shift car : so the linkage works in the right : direction - floor shifts have the : lever reversed. I swapped a 200 and : C4 from a '79 Fairmont into my old : '62 Futura and there were no issues : with bellhousing clearance. I made : my own mount adapter, but I believe : several of the Falcon vendors are : selling them now. JL : : --Previous Message-- : JB: : Thanks for both replies! : : We're looking to swap a larger : engine and a 3-speed auto in place : of the 170/2 speed in the '63 we're : working on. You just answered the : "engine" half of the : equation. How about the trans? My : internet research indicates that : there are C4's that will bolt to a : 170 or a 200. Do you know which : donor vehicles I should seek out for : a trans? (It seems I read that : '79-down transmissions have the same : bolt pattern, so I'm assuming any : '79-down C4 that was bolted to a six : will work). And are there any : floorpan interference issues? And : finally...it would be great if a 200 : and a 3-speed auto for transplant : could be found in the same (and : cheap!) donor vehicle. : : Thanks again for sharing your : knowledge. : : Jim :
