whats this ford auto box?

[nobler]

c4 -c2 ??

whats that mean?

is it a c4 from a 302?

bell housing part number starts with C5?

[weemark]

if it says C5 then it will probably be a C5, they were post 82 C4 boxes with a lockup TC.

[nobler]

does that mean it is a mustang 2 box with a ten inch converter?
-can you tell by the bell housing picture?


what i mean is, its deffo small block ford 302ci?
-has the smaller t/c, thus smaller bell housing?

-sorry, but I am a newbie, never had yank v8 shixzzle

p.s. are the 10 inch converters with the smaller bells, best for a pop

-do i actually want a 302ci - with the dizzy in the front, over a chevy, in a pop
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????

Dunno bout the box to new for me but 302 in a pop yes dizzy were you can reach it and its a narrower engine so should fit a narrow pop engine bay and by geting the right front pump and stuff can be madejust about as short as a chevy giv or take an inch.
Ford in a Ford it is the way forward!

Looks like a C4 to me , with a small bell housing. The C5 at the start of the casting number may be the date code , C5 would be `65 making it a very early one. Is the bell housing held on with the same bolts that hold the pump in ? (If you look in the bell you should only see one set of bolts)

& yes it will fit a 302. Internal specs altered slightly around `70 so be careful buying parts.

Early C4

[Alcoholic Rat]

C5 box.

This may help.

..& wether it's a C5 or a `65 it won't be a Mustang 2 (`65 too early , C5 too late).

How many splines on the input shaft? Does the dipstick go into the case or oil pan?

Early C4

No,that's an FMX.The drawing is explaining the 4 different case lengths the FMX had..

in the case i think - although the dipstick tube is missing

[Paul G]

There will either be a hole in the right hand side of the sump (pan) near the front or one just behind the bell housing near the bottom of the casing , looking into the pan.

I have a C5 on my threepointhate. It doesn't look like the pic Alcoholic Rat has put up, nor the pic on the original post IIRC. I can climb under and get a pic if needs be.

and input shaft spline count?

[parky33]

C4 large bell housing filler tube goes into pan 164 teeth flex plate
C4 small bell housing filler tube goes into case 157 teeth flex plate
Also there is ownly one large bell housing type
but quite a few small bell housing types
hope this helps
