Reply With QuoteSounds like a C4 to me, I thought all the C6's didn't have the removable bellhousing. I could be wrong, $1000. sounds like a good deal for all that.
My friend just bought a wrecked 1970 cougar elim for parts for his 67 stang conv.
He bought it for 1K and got a 351c 4v, disk brakes, a posi 355 9 inch and an auto tranny that I don't know what it is. It has a separate bell housing/trans. What is it?? I am hoping a C6. Any other info about this stuff would be great.
Thanks,
Clay
P.S.
anyone need any Cougar parts??????????

Skeep, it's an FMX select shift [separate bellhousing] . C-6's are coupled mostly to big block fords like 429-460.

It is an FMX....Cast iron tranny, aluminum bellhousing. Is it any good?????
Skeep
Skeep , the cast iron tranny's last forever. I had the FMX twin turbo drive tranny in my 64 lincoln , and it was hauling the mail [ and my boat] at 168K miles without problems. They'll never pounce like their aluminum cousins!
yep it's a fmx
Thanks for the info guys....looks like we scored.
What kinds of mod can I do to the trans????

Perhaps the most important thing to do with that tranny is to just get rid of it.
Ford was trying to make a performance-related transmission, and in order to make it "stronger" they cast the case from iron.
Really, when was the last time you saw a tranny case crack in a passenger car or truck? (I've seen just one...and it was a fluke for sure).
Ford's intentions were good, but what you really have there is a major weight disadvantage especially for a convertible. Get rid of it. Your 3500 lb Mustang with ANY 351 will never benefit by having an FMX behind it.
I don't think Ford manufactured that box for many consectutive years--for the above-noted reasons.
