Tranny swapping??

I have 1979 Ford with a 400 C6, the tranny is weak, a friend has C6 off of his race car with a 390....will this bolt up? Or what engine combo do I have look for to find a matching bolt pattern?

Any C6 from 351m\400\429\460 will interchange with each other.....352 , 360 , 390 , 406 , has a different bolt pattern and will not boltup to a 400 .......fd

Nope, you'll need a C6 from a 351m, 400, 429, 460. Is your truck 2wd or 4wd?


79 250 Ranger Lariat 4wd 400 C6 3.55's 33x12.50 16.5's
78 Bronco Custom 4wd 400 C-6 3.50's 31 10.5 15's
66 Mustang Coupe Sports sprint 200 c-4 cruise o matic 3.00's
99 Grand Prix GT 230 ft/lbs torque out of a non turbo'd 6 cyl hehe

you can have the guts of the other transmission transfered into your case by a transmission shop for around $150-200.
