c4 Tranny exchange

I changed the C-4 from my 289, 68 FB to an AOD. Not all that hard.
Here's the list...

1. Driveshaft needs to be shortned alittle.
2. Different flexplate
3. Get Windsor-Fox crossmember. Makes the job alot easier.
4. Fabricate a rod to make the floor shift work, or buy it from Windso-Fox too.
5. Get the Art Carr one piece input shaft and have it installed. Takes the lockup out, you still have OD. Trans shifts much better under power.
6. Change the convertor too.
7. Baumann shift kit.
8. 2 inch OD band
9. Wide ratio gear set
10. Diode sprag
11. Get list of Ford part # off the Baumann site for the TV cable and such.
12. Make certain that trans has shift lever pointing up.
13. Only real pains were..[1] Exhaust headers clearing the pan of the trans. [2] Hooking up cable to carb. It isn't as hard as it looks, but you HAVE to have TV cable or trans will burn up.
14. Fabricate cooler lines.

Mine shifts great and with the stall convertor comes off the start like a rocket. It is street driven, not raced. The OD helps lots when you're driving to a show or cruise.
