    need 4spd for 1969 ford 390 everything

     



    Have a 1969 Ford LTD 2 DOOR cloned as a Cobra. Has 390 4 barrel and tons of go fast goodies. Makes over 400hp.. Anyway have 4:11 gear and posi but only 3spd auto. Was going to go to aod auto but would rather go with 4spd manual. I need everything to make it a 4spd including pedals. Anybody got one? I could go with new 5 or 6spd but would rather stay old school. Thanks Shane

    Beware buying from an individual. I bought a Toploader RUG from a Deputy Sheriff in Florida and was very disappointed that most of the internals were junk. David Kee bought all the remaining parts that were serviceable and made me a good price on them, so my hit wasn't so devastating. If you want to deal with a man who has honesty and integrity going for him, buy Toploaders and parts from David......

    Thank you. I have bought many a C-6 and top loaders over the years and found them to be tough as nails,hard to damage and almost impossible to break. I was looking for a used setup as opposed to buying a new 4spd auto to off set steep gear. If I was to go with a like new setup I would go with new 5 or 6spd manuals and go to 4:33 or 4:56 gear. It only makes since for me if its reasonable cuz it ain't going to give me anything over a aod tranny but cost and certainly ain't got nothing over new 5 and 6 spds out there. Thanks so much I'm sure its sound advice!!!
