Got took on a trans deal.

Got took on a transmission deal today. guy said it was an AOD traded a solid roller cam for it. Turns out to be a C6. Feel very damn stupid now. Still needing an AOD and now stuck with a Damn C6. Only good part is that its for a big block ford.

that sucks. keep it i'll bet a young hot rodder like you will have a use for it one day, or be able to trade it for something else

Maybe he just didn't know the difference?

It's not like it's bad property, someone will take it off your hands I'm sure.

I called the guy and it was his son that loaded it up and grabbed the wrong transmission. hes offering me the C6 for $75 bucks so im probably going to take it as well. Now i have a transmission for my bigblock

For future ref , I ran across this site:

If you scroll down past the GM stuff, there is a good description on all the Ford transmissions.

A C6 doesn't take too much to stand up to a bunch of power, no OD but its a hell of a tough trans!!

Bill

C6 doesn't need anything but a shift kit to stand up to alot of power. I proved that for 12 yrs.

got the trans today! Its an E9 too with an A servo for overdrive! double bonus! Also bought the C6. So now i look to be well off in the trans department.

No overdrive on the C6 doesnt bother me because its going into a race only car which i may be getting in about 2 weeks. theres a guy locally who has a ton of foxbodys in his yard most of them straight. going to go pick out a roller and start my race car project.

Sounds good. What you throwing in there for power?

Big block 557. I was going to build it for the 73 in my avatar but i finally decided to build it into a race motor. Still planning on another 545-557 engine for it someday with more street friendly manners.

Meantime the 73 shall run with just a little 351 4v cleveland with a real beefed up AOD
