Ok, so here is the deal, my wife saw a 79' Futura that she wanted that was in fair condition. It was owned by a 88 year old man who was the second owner and it only had 54k on it. Needless to say I paid the man and trailered it home and have been piecing it together since then. After a tune up and fixing a few bad wires and vacume hose leaks i have the motor running like a top now and have no complaints there. However, something in the trans is bad and not sure what, I dont feel like paying 250 just find out whats wrong with it.
Car has a 200 in line 6 with a floor shift C4 trans. A guy at another shop several towns away had a great deal on a completely rebuilt C4 for a 71' 302 mustang column shift.
Now for the questions lol. I know the bell housing is different as far as the starter location. I have the torque converters, flex plates, flywheels, shift linkage, and starters for both trans. I was wondering if i could just the bolt the new one in or if i have to swap the bell housing and everything over. I would like to be able to use the complete new set up because I know the converter is good, where as I'm not sure about my original, all though it wasn't acting like a converter problem.
I've tried researching it, but apparently no has put info up on this particular swap yet, any info would be GREAT guys. Also, im going to try and do this later today, so quick answers would be much appreciated Thanks.
so for the long post, just wanted to include as much info as I could think of at the time.
