c-4

what is a good price for a junkyard c-4 and what (ford) car are they in? I would like to re-place my T-5 with one. What it would take to swap in c-4.

I had gotten my c-4 from a 250cu Maverick, small bellhouing for header clearance, get the 157 tooth flexplate and starter index plate, rebalance the flexplate to 50oz .The years are 70 to 78 ? Then rebuild it to v-8 specs that was 5years ago,no problems. If you need a complete unit call Dymanic Trans. My 60ft went from 1.81 with stock motor to 1.73 but trap speed was a little slower!

Junkyard price depending on condition/warranty: ~$100-$150

What they came in: An array of vehicles. Early to late '70's Mustangs, trucks, LTD Crown Vics, etc. Pretty easy to find.

What it takes to swap in C4: As far as I know, need new flywheel. Call Ford Motorsport, they'll know. Should be ~$60.
Get a starter for C4 and dust shield (flex plate) for C4.
