What is the torque converter stub shaft diameter?
Its the part that slides into the flex plate
No guessing.Correct answers only

 

I don't understand why you are asking this question.

Does it have to do with getting the correct flexplate, or something else?

The flexplate, C5AZ6375D is the same for:

1965/67 F100/350 352 C-O-M / 1968/76 F100/350 360/390 C6.

1965/67 352/390 Passenger Cars with C-O-M / 1966/71 390 Passenger Cars with a C6.

btw: The parts catalog doesn't list the diameter of the shaft, just its length and spline count.

 

65 and up 352 trucks c4s or fmx till 68 390s and c6's nice swap in!!did it include the steering-column with the d inside the 0 nice setup or trick ?or wrong converter/ flex plate match up hope this helps

 

There's no such thing as an FMX until 1969.

The FMX was only used in passenger cars except for 1973/77 F350's with the 300 I-6.

The FMX was not used with FE engines, 429's or 460's.

1965/67 F100/350's with 352's used the MX aka the Big Cruise-O-Matic, this trans was discontinued after 1967.

1965/67 F100/250's with 240/300's used C4's. 1965/67 F350's with 240/300's used MX C-O-M.

1958/64 passenger cars with 352 4V's, 1961/65 passengers cars with 390's also used the MX C-O-M.

1958/60 passenger cars w/332's, 352 2V's, 1961/67 352 2V's used FX aka the small C-O-M, which was also discontinued after 1967.

1961/64 F100/250's with 223/262 I-6's, 292's used FX C-O-M. 1961/64 F350's with 223/262, 292's used MX C-O-M.

People confuse the FMX that was introduced in 1969, with the earlier FX & MX Cruise-O-Matics.

While the FMX shares many parts with the FX, that is not the case with the MX, which is a much beefier transmission.

The most obvious external differences between the FX/FMX and the MX is the MX's case is cast iron, the transmission pan is larger.

The C6 was introduced in 1966 used in cars only until 1968.

 

It doesn't slide in the flexplate, it slides into the crankshaft. Have no clue on the dia though...sorry.

 

PROSTOCK is correct, The dimension he is looking for is the inside dimension of the rear crankshaft hole.
Which will match up real close to the front snout of the convertor, not the one that slides into the pump.
I dont have anymore FE stuff at the moment, But here is a way to find out your answer, short of flipping the convertor
over and measuring the snout that slides into the rear of the crank.

PS
Numberdummy, If you want to help him, reach on the shelf behind you and get a bronze pilot bushing and measure
the outside diameter of it. And yes I KNOW he is not running a straight drive. The OP may not want a full history
of bronze bushings, and we know they make them in the needle bearing form also. (Some Companies)
and please do not change this in your "QUOTE" boxes, because if you quote someone and then write and or change
what you are quoting, it is NO LONGER that persons "QUOTE"!!!

If it has one it's 1.848 I do believe the pilot bushing diameter is 1.850

 

Bill,
Long story short about why? Cause I was asked.I am getting new c-6 from the owner of a shop that does my xsmn work for my shop at work.I kn ow if I go any further with this answer it will only add more confusion..This is a 3 or 4 person endeaver.The man supplying the parts,the man supplying the xsmn,the man getting a free xsmn.See what I mean?!
There must be a difference in the size of the hole in the crankshaft between all the different types of motors ford has.And they dont know ?????
I have been corrected by PROSTOCK.I need to know the inside diameter of the crankshaft were the converter slides into it.Not the fleplate.

 

chaser1602,
rbaker has your answer, provided he has measured the bushing, and provided, that measurement is correct, measurements in quote below. This measurement should be
real close to the part that slides into the back of the crank, on the torque converter. Now keep in mind that that snout on the crank side of the converter will be a few thousandths different than the bushing O.D.! Hope this helps some?

If I reach behind me, all I will get are parts catalogs stacked up in an oak hutch...in my family room.

I retired due to disabilities, and haven't worked at a Ford parts counter since 1997.

Parts catalogs do not give pilot bushing/bearing diameters. If they did, I would have posted the info.

 

I got 47mm or 1.850" measuring the crank in my 66 352 when doing the clutch etc a while back to get the spigot bearing size. This would appear to confirm rbaker's figure.

 

NumberDummy,I am very sorry to hear you are disabled, I know exactly where you are coming from, Me and my wife and daughter were in a near fatal car accident in 1989. At that time my lawyer wanted me to apply for disablity. Keep in mind I was 24 at the time.
I told him no I am not ready to quit working. And after a couple of years of recouperation, I went back to work as an Industrial/commercial electrician. I continued to work well past
the point I needed to, health wise. And during working at Westinghouse, after hours I built my Pro Street Ford Truck, and installed a built 351w in it. I didnt apply for Disability for years after I had to quit my job at Westinghouse. Were I worked in the test lab building test equipment for the engineers. My recreation now is to help people with thier Ford trucks when I can get a post.


PS Last year I drug a fold up chair around the Great Smokey Mountian Run the whole time, I would walk about 10 foot and sit. Bought some parts from Flashback Ford. And Tom's son and my daughter and my wife carried them to the old x-cop car. While I sat in a chair and talked to Tom. My point is I am still here and I got to go.

Pss My daughter took autobody the last year of high school and again the following semester at the local community college. My daughter was working alot and I needed some welding done and she was unable to help at the time so I taught my wife how to weld. To finish a project that needed to be done. Sure helps.

Diagnosed with spinal stenosis in July 1993. Already had arthritis and a heart condition.

Even though I could have retired right then and there, I kept working for 4 more years, which by that time...it hurt like hell just to stand up.

Were you at the SuperNats in Knoxville last year?

btw: I was born in 1944, so I'm a bit older than you.

 

The results of the car accident in 1989 were, my skull around my right eye was crushed, during the emergancy surgery to try to fix it, they took my eyeball out and wired the pieces back together. I had 80 to 100 stitches in and around my right eye. It sits back in my skull 3mm. But I went back to 20/20 vision for years. Have had horrific cluster headaches since then.

Mid 1990's while working, suffered a siatica nerve issue for well over 2 years, EXTREMLY horrible pain!! Draggin my right leg when I walked.

around 1995 diagnosed with, Spinal stenosis, spondyliosis, osti-arthritis, slight scoliosis,
3 herniated discs, and 2 ruptured (all in lower lumbar region) The worst rupture is L-6, MOST "normal" people dont have L-6. And the doctor was not even concerned about the
slight herniations in my upper back and neck area. Was told never to have surgery on my
back unless an absolute emergancy.

The last 2 years before Nov. of 2008, I was going downhill very fast. My wife and my daughter thought I was dying, and PUSHED me into going to the Great Smokey Mountain run, thinking it would be my last show. The doctor figured out finally that I suffer from hypo-thyriodism. My TH level was 325, My doctor told me that was the HIGHEST levels he has ever seen in his career.The acceptable level is 6.0 I am slowly getting back to myself, still dealing with blood tests to monitor my TH levels, It is finally close to what the doctor wants it to be.

PS in 1990 I went to Bowman Grey hospital to talk to an eye doctor about doing surgery
on my eye/skull. He told me I would be a "Guinea Pig" for a surgery that was experimentel
He said he would take my eye back out, all the wire and pieces of skull out, and try to build a "Piece" of skull that would put things back where they should be. I was told I could have double vision in that eye or both eyes, or be blind afterwards. After seeing the children down there in the burn unit I realized that I was NOT as bad off as I did prior to this. I have learned to live with this, and I Know I am lucky and Happy to still be here.
