lol. not bad. im 6'9" myself. and i know im not done yet. hard as heck to find pants... FTE needs a tall people chapter. no one under 6'5" lol.

 

I am 6'6 too.

It kind tough to fit 2001 Mustang or Focus.


Now 95 F250 run great but first mpg test was 9.56 mpg but that were high idle and transmission won't shift 3 or 4.

Now I hope it get 14 or higher that my goal.

 

like i said, we need a tall FTE chapter. lol.

 

You need complaint to Admin here.

 

started looking for used C6 transmissions. also looking at scrap prices that's option B

 

I hope you can find a decent C6

 

87mater, what year can the tranny be from? would a C6 from a 78 work for your needs?

 

any year as long as it's for a 4x4 and small block (did ford use diffrent bolt patterns for BB and deisles?) i am swapping out the E4OD since i do not feel like paying $800 for a used one with 100k on it. will probably not buy any thing untill march though. wount have extra money till then

 

eh, mine is currently paired with a 400. big block pattern. idk if you can make that work for you? maybe use the internals in the one you have?

 

yeah that probably wount work but thanks for the offer.

 

no problem. if you change your mind for any reason, give me a holler.

 

Yes,I think they used large pattern on anything above a 351W,possibly except Cleveland And small pattern on 300 IL up through 351W. Used E4OD prices are out of sight,I got rid of my '91 F150 because the trans started acting up and the used trans cost more than the truck was worth.If you can live without over drive,it's hard to beat a C6.

 

right on, brother buster

 

they used the small block pattern on everything bellow the 400. the 351M is a 400 with a 351 crank in it, so it too has a big block pattern. the FE series had its own pattern, and then the 429 and 460 have the big block pattern as well. the 400 is based on the 351 cleveland, and is essentially the same motor with a taller deck, larger mains, a big block bellhousing pattern, and used a big block distributor. its design was to be the go between engine from the small blocks to the big blocks, and so was a small block motor that could bolt up to the big block drivetrains. so now you know...

 

Truck is still in for paint, so started a search for a good set of tires for it. Priced out some new 31's, but also found a Flareside up here for sale that's a 'project' truck that has new BFG 31 12.50's and a suspension lift still in the box. Emailed him for the axle ratios and to ask on the condition of the sidestep supports...might be worth buying to swap axles with mine (I have the 3.08) and tires, misc parts. Could get it for a grand.

Guessing I could swap what I need and resell it and recoup half the cash...we'll see.
