Hi Tom, Kevin,
Thanks for your input.
I went to the shop today - the tranny that was in my stang is a 5-bolt.
But this engine is from a '67 Mustang.
My mechanic says I should only look for a C4 for an inline six, and not
get one that was in a V8.
Damn, had a line on a C4 but it is from an early 70s Ford with a 302.
Anyone in southern Ontario got what I need? I'm fast running out of
good Canadian weather in which to drive!
Thanks.
Andrew
