    Most anything I've seen with a with a cast iron case is either an FMX or a Cruise-o-matic....If it's an aluminum bellhousing with a cast iron case it would be an FMX.... I've never seen a cast iron C-6, but that doesn't mean they never made one......There's a lot of things I've never seen.....

    Check out the references that FFR posted.... Barry is IMO THE authority on FE buildups. His company is Survival Motorsports, some really first rate products!!!!!

    As for shoehorning it into the T-bird, anything can be made to fit.... We drag race a same vintage 'bird with a 501 BBF in it.... Headers are going to have to be custom made, as well as engine mounts, tranny mount and a bunch of little things.... I'd suggest some careful measuring, especially the width between the strut towers before you get too deep into the project....
