C-6 In Foxbody With A 351w?!?!

hemicross · 09-07-2006, 08:47 PM

ok so here's what happened, i'm doing a 351w swap into a 93 coupe, now I have a c-6 tranny for it but they say it wont work, tranny is to long, have to cut driveshaft, now I really dont wanna do that, are they just bullshitting me or will this tranny fit? if not i'm just going to get a c-4

id recommend a c6 if you were driving a truck ...otherwise id go with a c4 - you would be much happier

ok, so if i go with the C-4 will it mount up right and will it fit in there without any driveshaft modifications? I have the aftermarket cross-member for the true dual exhuast and the cross-members arent welded to the bushing housing yet so its still front to back adjustable. and i'm going with solid motor and transmission mounts

im not sure on the driveshaft length as i havent done it myself ...somebody else will have to tell you that one or ..there is a neat little search button - you could try using that

im running a c4 and could measure the drive shaft for you.

I'm running a C6 bolted right in like was made for it. Yes you will need a shorter drive shaft

well i'm pretty sure it will fit but i just wanted to know if the stock driveshaft would work, i mean by the splines on the tranny yoke, and also what the difference is on the 4 cyl and 5.0 mustang driveshafts, they look the same but i dont know if the splines are the same

Splines should be the same
