Hi guys,

I'm a new member, thanks to buying a '65 F250. My name is Mike, live in No CA, San Jose. Area. Truck has a 4 on-the-floor, and I'm looking for a C6 tranny for my FE motor, as the current tranny needs repairs, and any help or direction would be appreciated. Thank you,
Mike

 

Welcome to FTE. You are tackling a much bigger project with the C6, as opposed to replacing or rebuilding the 4 speed. Look for a C6 that came from an FE, so that the bell housing will bolt right up. Try a search of this forum. There are a number of members who have swapped in a C6. Good luck.

im down in salinas and they are all over craigslist, plus you have at least two pick and pulls in san jose where you could pull one if need be.

Thanks guys, I've checked SJ pik n pull, no luck locally, but people spoken to have no idea of what an FE is, or there is no way to include it in searching their site. Someone posted a site for a new one & I can call them during the week. I am not a mechanic so all input is greatly appreciated, thanks again. Mike

Matrod,

Thank you, I'm following up on both.

Mike

 

Bell housing: M/T only. Converter housing: A/T.

C6 converter housing is made as part of the transmission case.

You will need a C6 from one of these trucks, as the 1966/71 FE car C6's have different length output shafts and extension housings.

Bill, are you saying that I can use the 66/71 FE car's C6?

Mike

 

No, I'm saying the opposite! You do not want a car C6!

 

Thanks, Bill,

Mattrod68 posted a link, and I spoke with the owner and he said that it had the shorter shaft, and it came out of '67 F250. The link has a couple of pics, maybe you can advise me before i drop a couple of bills on it?

Mike

 

If the C6 came from a 1967, it was swapped in.

1965/67 F100/350 352 (1965/72 F350 300 I-6) came with MX Cruise-O-Matic (14 trans pan bolt holes, has a separate converter housing).

1968/76 F100/350 360/390's came with C6's (17 trans pan bolt holes, converter housing made as part of trans case).

MX Cruise-O =

 

I have a related question for anyone who may know. I already have a c6 I'm going to be swapping into my 66 but I'm curious if I'll need to have a new driveshaft made or if the c6 is the same length as the 4spd that came stock.

 

You won't have to buy a new one you can have your original driveshaft cut to fit.

 

Mike welcome to FTE it's good to see another local member. I just finished an engine and tranny swap on my F100.

 

Thanks Vince,
I live in Sunnyvale, where are you?
