I am using a pan fill C-4. Very little difference for street use. All of the internal componets (I believe) interchange. I believe my friend with the Ranger uses a pan fill.

I read the article in the tech section and noticed it was a special bellhousing and went on a case filled C-4,I have a rebuilt pan filled C-4 in it now that I would use.

It costs to buy the bell and starter to graft the C-4 to a Y but there are advantages. The C-4 is lighter and more efficent. As to strength, a friend runs a C-4 behind a 427 windsor with a 250 hp shot of nitrous with no problems in a Ranger Pickup. Pulls 1.34 60 foots and low 9 sec Et's.

He rebuilt the trans with a shift kit and extra clutch discs being careful using the available shinms to obtain the proper clearances.

A stock C-4 wll easily stand up to a good Y, and give you a first gear starts.

You probably will not save much money but I would go with the C-4.

C4's are a great little trans. I used a flat-o-matic kit. Used a lokar dipstick and linkage for the column shift and I use a stock ford-o-matic column to shift it. c4's have unlimited converter options and if you hang around enough mustang forums you can find good deals on transmissions.

When my 55 gets a Y block again I was planning on rebuilding a FMX and using a air cooled bellhousing to make it looks somewhat original but I just had A C-4 gone through and behind the 351 it has but thinking why spend the extra money and just use the C-4,will a C-4 hold up behind a 292 or 312.
