Another transmission swap question...
Quite simple, i think.
I have a 1979 f-100
302 with a c4 transmission, column shift (P, N, D, 2, 1)
I am looking to replace it with a stronger c6 transmission.
What issues will i run in to (driveshaft length and shifting is a main concern)
Thanks, Cody

wow...
I knew it ate more power but
I have a $1,200 custom built C4 in it right now, redline cluthes and all. I was just curious to see the difference i would get with 4 gears instead of 3.
I'll stick with what i have. Thanks yall.
