any one

Fordomatic/cruise-o-matic would be the easist. Others require an adapter of some fashion.

so a cruis-o-matic would fit the yblock as a direct bolt on or what has to be done to put that tranny in there

John Mummert also sells an adapter kit for use with a C4.

You would need to find a Cruise O Matic that was behind a Y-Block. They are out there! The conversion to C-4 or AOD will end up costing $1000 or more depending on your transmission cost and driveshaft shortening. BUT I love my AOD. Chuck in NH

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

For everyday use ,I would go with a FMX . They are cheap ,bullet proof ,and easy to fit behind a Y- Block . Also consider your diff gears .That will also make a big difference .Just my opinion .

Howdy,



There's lot's of choices.



If it's other than a Fordo or other trans that already bolts to a Y-block, it's gonna cost money!



If you REALLY want "Bullet-Proof" you can do an E4OD like mine from a F450 Superduty bolted to my 292!







I need to get to work on this thing!!!





Cheers,





Rick
