C4 strong enough?

Hi all

I've torn down the 62 for a cab re-seal and soundproofing (for pics see my other thread) and I've now got a bead on a very mild 289/c4 combo From a 66 mustang want to put in. My question is, will the c4 stand up to the added weight of a truck? Do I need a different tail shaft? Should I go with a c6? This is merely a putter around truck with no performance goals in mind.
Thanks.

C-4 is plenty strong. Drive-shaft will probably have to be altered

I'm running a 302/C4 combo, and it is more than strong enough...C4's are
great transmissions.
