Hello, i have a 1988 ford f 150, it has a cleveland 351
the transmission is bad and i am looking for a new one.
i was wondering if any c-6 transmission will work for my truck or what types will work? Do i need a certain type or model or something? or what other transmissions out of other engines will fir in mine?
if any knows and can help me it will be greatly appreciated.
thank you

 

any 4x4 c6 trans should work

 

Any tranny from any of the following engines will bolt right up to yours.

- 300 inline 6, 302 or 351.

 

thank you everyone for the replies..
i found a tranny out of a 351 windsor.. that should work then right?
thank you

 

not so fast he says he has the "cleveland 351" and thats a big block, 351 c, 460, 7.3 diesel

 

351 W or C are the same patern. Diesel has it's own unique patern, and big block is 400/429 and 460.

 

so basically any big block transmission will fit my 351 cleveland?

 

No. A 351 is a 351, and it shares the same bolt patern as the small block family.

 

351w is a small block 351 c big bolck, I dont think they use the same bellhouseing, but I dont think he has a big block in a 88 f150, my $0.02

 

Correct, unless it's a swap in, your 88 with have a Windsor.

 

so i should look for a small block transmission?
thank you every one for your replies

 

Yup, small block transmission is 300-6, 302 or 351. All the same bell housing bolt patern.

 

im not very familiar with the 351 so any information on the transmission and what will fit in the 351 will be great, thank you

 

No... the Cleveland uses a small block trans bolt pattern.

 

also, i found a 5 speed that i am considering to put in. is the swap from a automatic to a manual a pain?
