I didnt want to turn it upside down. So these are the best pics I got. The guy who gave it to me said its supposed to be a C6 2WD. But he is not very truck smart. But my uncle asked me was I sure. So it got me wondering. I already bought a 4WD short shaft and 205 adapter for it(for a C6). just thought I would ask yall.

AFAIK the FMX is the only iron cased auto tranny that Ford built in the last 40 years.

I dont know if it will fit behind a 205 but I heard these trannys where good if ya have one and ya build it right, I gave $50.00 for the one I have and it looks identical to the pics and is very heavy. Been runnin mines now from 1999 when I bought it used and it has not let up or had any trouble with it. I'm going to completely rebuild it with preformance clutches and a shift kit when it goes down.

My brother has an FMX in his '55 F100 behind a 351. Both are 74 models from a car, and the trans has never been rebuilt. I don't know about strength, but a friend that does tranny work said that they consume the least horsepower of any Ford 3spd auto. His with a 2bbl on the stock 351 and a 2.79 rear gear gets 23-26 MPGs on interstate trips. If I got over 15 outta MY 351, I'd pass out.
