RE: W-code '68 to 4 speed..

Now that takes big 'uns Royce! I admire your inclination to make such a modification to such a rare Muscle Merc. It's your car and so you can do what you want! Sounds like it'd be a fun project and I'm sure you'd be able to put it back to stock auto. and no one would ever know you'd lived on the stick side for awhile.

But a couple o'thoughts before you punch that knockout:

Ford's SVO parts also offers a low first gear set for the C-6. This along with the roller bearing kit and top grade rebuild might offer you some advantages. Is the C-6 in the W-code 427 cars the same as the CJ-C-6? Like cast iron tailshaft and R-code Servo? The R-code servo is still available through Ford's HP parts catalog too.

I don't have a current Ford SVO parts catalog, I'm not even sure it's still called SVO?, but I'm sure your local Ford dealer parts counter has a couple. And I think there may be a website for this too.

Ahh, but still, one, two, powershift here we go...... hard to beat the joy of a good shift. Oh, how about those rear leaf springs? Remember the shock a good clutch can send back to the rear zone. Don't want you to be lookin' like that jack rabbit '67 GT 'stang 390/4 speed with a 427 I saw back in '68. It was an embarassment.
This thread, so far...
