Ron,
You've made my feeling of apprehension about fitting the C4, into a feeling of excitement, with your experience of the performance of this combination.
I have to do this due to bad knees, stock flathead and clutch operated in normal rpm, is not to bad. Driving it like I stole it, the pedal pressure at north of 6G is excessive. So my truck is standard shift and overdrive, clutchless changes below governor speed, and automatic shift between second to overdrive second around town, equates to less clutch work. My little A roadster will be flathead and C4, now I'll be able to kick its arse without me suffering the pain.
I'd kinda excepted the C4 was gonna suck some power, wasn't happy about it though. From your experience of this combination, I'm now a very happy bunny.
All the best,
Martin.
Ps. I'll be sure to check the centering of the pilot, and pad hights, before installation.
