A friend of mine is trying to change out his 34 Ford Roadster from a 3 speed manual to a Ford C-4 automatic. He has a Ford small block 302 installed in the car. However, his transmission shop told him that the C-4 transmission could not fit in the car due to clearance issues. Has anyone been successful with this engine/transmission combination in a 34 Ford and would you have any suggestions that would help us.

Appreciate your help.
