55 ford engine and trans
Hello everyone, I have a dilema I am doing a 55 ford fairlane 2 dr. sedan
(club sedan) I have installed a fat man front clip complete and I"m wondering if I have enough room to use a C-6 transmission without cutting the floor up I also have an AOD which i understand is a little bigger than the C-4 but smaller than the C-6 any help would be appreciated. Thanks Carguy 01 I'm using either a 5.O. or a 289 |

Re: 55 ford engine and trans
the c-6 was basically a truck trans used behind the big ford engines, it eats up about 35 horse,aod up till around 1989 or 90 are all hydralic operated, no wires like the chevy aod trans

Re: 55 ford engine and trans
No problem fitting the AOD,I have a 302 and AOD in my '54 Customline no mods needed it will sit right on the stock trans crossmember use an ANCHOR 2253 mount about $10 at Autozone.Be sure and get the Lokar T.V. cable real easy to use.You will need a 164 tooth flexplate with a 28 oz. balance for the AOD give these guys a call http://www.kmjent.com/ prices are good.AOD's from 1980-93 are non computer the best donors are 1988-93's with the improved lube mods and valve body.

Re: 55 ford engine and trans
I think I saw somewhere that the C6 was a tough fit in those cars but dont quote me on that. I would go with the AOD myself just because of the OD but its your car. Someone here must know if it fits.

This is a C4 mount used for about 20 years, ANCHOR is available at Autozone & O'Reillys and Rock Auto and many more.

Re: 55 ford engine and trans
If you use the 289 make sure it's a later block with 6 bolts for the bellhousing. Basically, a 1966.
