By 59ypowerf250 - 15 Years Ago
hello all, just registered today, just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. I work at a classic performance shop, but the we dont see to many y blocks come through our shop. My buddy and i are putting together a 59 Ford f250 that has been in his family for 3 generations. We were looking to update the transmission in it from the original cruise-o-matic tranny. I happened to snag a c6 from our shop that was laying around.

My question is, will a c6 mate up to a 292 y block? We really would not like to change the motor over to a 351 or 460. Any tips would be nice. anything is possible as far as fabbing. Has anyone ever seen this done?

Thanks in Advance!

I looked into it a while back but figured i didnt need it but did find this.  maybe you can see what you need to fab from the pics.

That adapter is what I used to put an AOD behind my Y-Block. Bit pricey but worked great for me. Chuck in NH

No joke it's pricey! I think for that much I'd at least try to make my own adapter.
