Thread: My 64 Ford Custom Project

Tweet

In spite of spending most of last year building the Plymouth I did manage to get a little bit done on the 64 Ford so I thought I'd post an update or two on it's current status.

I did manage to find a transmission for the car it's a C6 from a 428 T Bird. I got to drive the car before it was parted and the tranny worked good so it got new seals and a filter kit and bolted to the engine.

Even though the car was a 6 cyl, the frame mounts are the same whether it was a 6, small block of FE, so all that was required were the right motor mounts to get it bolted in.

The transmission was a little different story as the C6 mounts further back than the standard transmissions or the old Cruse-o-matics. A couple of simple angle iron extensions to the crossmember mounts and a 70s Ford truck tranny mount and that was taken care of.
