Trans question

How can I tell if a C6 transmission will bolt up to my 1999 5.4L Triton? I've searched advance adapters but I can't find this info.

A C6 won't bolt up to a Triton. IIRC some early mod motors had the sbf bell pattern, but that ended in the first year, again IIRC.

You can get a bell for a C4:

But since the C6 bell is integral, it would require an adaptor. And I would guess this is not a popular swap, as no adaptor is to be found:

I also looked on AA, and a couple of trans sites.

You might call AA, maybe they can cut you one.

Thanks for the info. I had gotten ahold of AA but they said they couldn't machine one. The only reason I am thinking about this swap is because the current trans is fried and I have a 400 that I want to put into the truck, just don't have the time now. So instead of repairing the current trans, which I wouldn't use once I did the swap, I was just seeing if I could use the C6 which I am going to be using with the 400.

There are C6s that will fit 400s. Same bell as 351m, 429/460.

Your OP says you are trying to match to a 5.4.

Hope you can find your answer(s).

Well I have the 5.4 in the truck right now. I have to replace the current trans, and I have a C6 with a 400. Until I get the time/money/equipment to put my 400 in, I was looking to see if there was some way I could use the C6 with the 5.4 or if I was totally screwed in that deptartment. Sorry for the missunderstanding.
