No use then? What sort of markings should I ask of the seller?

ID tag?

Manual or auto?

Case material, integral bell?

Speeds?

Any and all numbers/letters in the casting.

Pan shape and number of bolts if automatic.

Side load or top load if manual......

Heck, I don't know...

C4__ would mean 1964. C4A- would mean 1964, full size car line. The P at the end doesn't appear in the decode info available here at the top of the small block engine forum.

So if they are iron case, no bell, side-loaded, side shifted, 4 speeds, look for anything that says BW or BorgWarner and maybe it's a T10. (But then, would a BW box have any Ford casting number on it?)

Or maybe the Dangenham (sp? I know that's wrong) 4 speed used in Falcons behind 6 over here.


If they are iron case, no bell, top-loaded, side shifted, 4 speeds, and it's Ford, maybe they are Ford top loader fourspeeds.
