  • Ford C4 -- I6 -- V8 interchange

    I just picked up a few parts for my ranger drag truck.

    8.8 axle from a ranger to replace the 7.5 in it now, and a C4 trans from an older mustang with a straight 6.


    I know I can't use the bellhousing from the straight 6 - but is the gear case interchangeable?

    I'm going to want to upgrade the input shaft to a hardened 26 spline unit, I already have a deep cast pan and pick up from summit....

    I don't think I'm going to put a trans brake in it - at least not for now.... just foot brake it and keep it simple. I already have a converter from another project I hope to reuse (26 spline)

    any advice on 157 vs 164 tooth flexplate (SFI of course)
    There's always something new to learn.

    the case should be but also you might have to change out the input shaft
