Thanks!

: If it's a C4 with the cantilever mount
: it's the one you want. The '66 and
: later C4 had a crossmember with a
: two bolt mounting, and you'd need
: the custom aftermarket mount for
: those.
:
: The '65 had the same wheelbase as
: the '63, so as long as both have the
: small (7 or 7-1/4 inch) axle the '65
: driveshaft should work. JL

: In an earlier post, I asked about
: the
: best donor vehicles for a C4 to be
: used to replace the FM2 in a '63
: Falcon. JB Long said:
:
: "Jim, a C4 from a '64-65 Comet
: or a '65 Falcon 170 is the only one
: that will fit your existing mount.
: You can use a later C4 from a 170 or
: 200 (through 1980 or so) but you'll
: need a different mount arrangement.
: Some of the Falcon vendors sell a
: mount kit, and it includes the
: mounting for the parking
: brake."

: OK, I think we found a 65 Falcon in
: the junkyard (there are a lot of
: body parts missing, including the
: drivers door and the VIN tag) but
: the car is a 6 cyl (don't know the
: CID), the tranny is a C4, and (I
: think this is the important part)
: the car has an identical hand brake
: setup as a '63. Without being able
: to compare the undercar handbrake
: cantilevers side-by-side, they
: certainly do look similar. Of
: course, I forgot my camera so I
: couldn't take a picture.
:
: Have I found the correct
: transmission, or have I provided
: enough info to be sure? If so, any
: idea if the '65 driveshaft will be
: the correct length?

: Thanks,
