Tranny to Engine Question
First I want to say this is a cool sight and this is my first post......I have read lots of post involving ford suspensions which was very helpful.
My question is.......I have a 460cid that came out of a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV and it has a C-6 Tranny 3 speed. I would like to know if newer C-6 Trannys out of F-series truck with 4 speed or with over drive would bolt up to the 1972 Block.
Any information would really help.
Thanks in advance
Dan

The C6 IS a three speed.
What is there to answer in a nonsense question?
A later 4 speed transmission like an E40D will not work behind a '72 without an expensive tranny controller like a Baumann.
The bellhousing bolt pattern is the same across all 429/460's

My Schwinn had a 12 speed. Maybe I could bolt it up.

the newer c6 with the platinum reverse hydromagnetic clutch discs will interfere with the older cast iron 72 block that uses a plutonium coating sorry a no go

You could make it work, but you have to check the inline specs and re-route the rotary girder.

yeah ur right the rotary girder will work just rotate the whole trans upside down and bolt up the bellhousing ,just plug up the filler tube with JBweld as the trans fluid will leak , then u can check the trans fluid level by just unbolting the trans pan, and just reroute the gear shifter again use the jb weld to make linkage
