will they hook up, my friend has a 223 and a guy wants to sell him a c4. is it a good idea or should i tell him to pass on it?

 

Well it will if you have the '64 Bellhousing that was available for the 223 I-6 in the medium size Sedans, as this is the 1st year that the C-4 was available & the last year for the 223 I-6 or have an adaptor made by 1 of the companies that specializes in Trans Adptors.

 

is it hard to find one of those bell housings? assuming i do find it, will the c4 fall right into place or will tings have to be move up or back or will the driveshaft have to be modified?

 

Those Bellhousings were Only manufactured for 1 year, I believe that states it all & I've yet to locate 1 for myself.
W/ that Bellhousing or a proper adaptor the C-4 will snug right into place, but the trans mounts might have to be moved as if you've Not already an Auto Trans in place.
Manual trans mounts are located differently & will require a Different Propellershaft.

 

well i guess i will just stick with the 4 speed. thak yall for all the help.
