another c-6 question
here is what I am doing,
I am putting a 351w and its c-6 out of a 75 2whl drive truck in my 78 bronco,
I am going to be swapping out-put shafts to turn it from 2whl to 4whl trans,
I am also going to rebuild it while I have it apart, now I have never done this before but I bought a book on how to do it and think I can handle it ,
my question is,
are the gear ratios the same between the two trans?
should i put the guts from the 4whl trans in the small block housing?
what type of shift kit should I install for 4whl drive, the tow package??
and are there any other tips and tricks that anyone can give me for this rebuild?to make the trans better?
I think thats all, Thanks. Rick

Just had my C6 rebuilt for my 78-F250. There is a wide ratio gear set availble that lowers the first and second gear. It replaces the 3 pinion with a six pinion planetary out of a ford AOD. With a billet servo, extra clutch packs (5) and cheeta full manual valve body, its as strong as a C6 can be. The total cost of parts was 1,200. I paid for a shop to do the rebuild so the grand total was quite a bit higher. If you want a cheaper rebuild then just get the B&M master racing kit. I do highly recommend the Turbo Action "cheeta" valve body. It delete the kick down linkage and vacum modulater, with means you have to shift it manually all the time, but it grabs second and third like a bat out of hell. Also compression braking which is nice off-road.

FYI.
The AOD has nothing in comon with the C6, or the C4. The AOD is based loosely on the cast iron cased FMX/CriuseOmatic trans from the land boat era.
The E4OD is loosely based on the C6, and thats the tranny that is avalable with the 6 pinion steel forward and reverse carriers, that can be retrofitted to the C6.
The stock ratios for the C6 are 2.46:1, 1.46:1, 1:1
The stock ratios for the E4OD are 2.71:1, 1.53:1, 1:1
