rebuilt small block c6 and hughes torque converter

Price:$100 for trans $100 for torque converter
.
.
Description:Very little use.rebuilt with hughes master rebuild kit including red bands and clutches.Also has new hughes rv converter with stock stall.Also has factory ddep pan.
This came off of the Full size bronco forums, but I was wondering if you guys thought it would be worth it.

I currently have a 352 block (bored to 390) with a manual tranny, so I know I'd need to find a bellhousing.
What else? and do you know where I could find the bellhousing?

Pass on it.

No how no way will a small block C6 ever bolt to a FE.

C6 has an integral bell cast with the main body.

Public thank you

I just want to publicly thank Garbz hooking me up with a C6 for my 65. I've been looking here and there for a while and was having a difficult time finding one at a reasonable price.

I spent this past Saturday at his shop "helping" (he may not consider it help ) him pull the front end off his 63 so we could get the engine/tranny out. So I ended up getting the C6, flexplate, torque converter, linkage, driveshaft, and lots of good info. It definately makes the work easier with the access to all the tools and large shop to facilitate the easy cleanup of the tranny fluid. I am so jealous of having a shop with ALL the cool toys and projects to drool over, but now I'm wanting one of those T-Bucket roadsters for work on.

Now I just need to talk the wife into one of those Dakota front ends.

Again, thanks garbz, it was good to meet one of the FTE guys and good luck on 63.
Thanks to FTE and Ken for the great website.

Any time brother, glad to help.

As the build goes on i will do a tech article for FTE on the Dakota install in a 61 to 64 straight axle. Same basic deal applies to 48 through 79 fords.

It kinda sucks having to come to work with all these toys and tools...LOL

Have a real cool build happening. A 36 Cord 810 sedan being rodded....Along with all the others.

Oh yeah, I had forgot about that Cord and also that sweet powder coated frame, Olds I think.

BTW, I'm sore and don't want to do anything today...LOL
