T-5 TO A C4 SWAP

MUSTANGPUNKP · 04-17-2001, 08:25 PM

I AM PUTTING A C4 IN MY 85 MUSTANG AND HAVE MAC LONG TUBE HEADERS ON IT. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE BELL HOUSING IS GOING TO WORK. I HEARD YOU CAN GRIND THE BELL HOUSING TO FIT BUT IM NOT SURE. I COULD ALWAYS BUY NEW HEADERS $300$ WORTH BUT I WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAD ANY ANSWERS FOR ME?

Are you running a big bell or a small bell C4? Either way I think all you have to do is pull the headers put the tranny then install them. I just let the headers hang in the engine bay loose and wiggle the c4 in then bolted them back on that is with a small bell and BBK LT's

I have the small bellhousing 157 tooth flexplate, (check the balance!) and longtubes , if you go to a small bell you may have to change the converter. I bought mine from ATI in Maryland, tell them your combo, I have a 8" converter on a mild 347 and it revs like a chainsaw,sounds great with the X-pipe!
