RE: FE & C4 Literature?

It was kinda neat how we caught the bogus bellhousings. NHRA had a techman in Division 6 who lived in Canada and had a transmission shop. He and I had been swapping notes trying to track down the elusive Canadian 352 pickups with a C-4. He said he had seen several 352 pickups over the years but none with a C-4. A friend of mine had two S/S cars, each with a 428 Cobra Jet and C-4. But he said the bellhousings looked different. After he had taken the engine/ trans out of one of the cars and the trans out of the other, he invited me out to look at the bellhousings. Neither had a casting number or even a Ford logo. One was a painted up piece, the other was bare aluminum. I started digging around under the paint and found bondo. When I dug out the bondo I found the weld where it had been put together. My friend had a C-6 under his workbench, so we brought it out and compared the C-6 case to the welded one. It was an identical match. The other one had been cast similar to the welded one. When NHRA confronted the guy who was selling them, he admitted what he had done. NHRA felt there were too many racers who had been running this combination and so as not to penalize them, the rule was changed to allow accepted adaptors. So there is the FE C-4 story from the guy who uncovered it.
This thread, so far...
