go c-6

If you are going to put a stock tranny in you might want to find a c-6. they are a stronger tranny. They eat up a few more horses but probably worth it in the long run.

If its an F100 2wd then a c4 would probably be your better option.

A heavier truck might require the c6

Can you bolt a C4 to a FE?

Fellers, I don't believe the C4 came with a FE round top bell.

Also, the C6 is a one-piece case (no separate bellhousing like FMX and C4).

C4 Bells for the FE are rare......

Aftermarket bells are made to do this swap.

The big block wont miss the extra horses required to get the c6 moving.

i have read online that c6's have been used in many monster trucks and drag cars, and i always see tons of c6 rebuild projects and shift kit installations on speedvision. i have the feeling its a tough tranny.
