| RE: Cruise-o-Matic to C6 conversion |

| since ford did this at the factory it is really easy to duplicate by using the factory parts. the hardest part (and not really that hard) is to find a C6 donor car. the 66 thunderbird used C6 and the chassis is exactly the same. you will need; the transmission mount, the shift lever from the transmission (don't use the 66 trans they have potential problems and still have the CM shift pattern), the kick down linkage, and the shift linkage. the shift linkage is much more involved than the CM setup but it is needed to make the shift indicator register properly. it all bolts in easily and works fine. the hardest part is mounting one of the frame side shift belcrank bolts. if i remember correctly it uses one stock bolt and you have to drill one small hole but just try getting a drill in there with the trans in place. and the trans has to be in place to see how it needs to mount as the other end mounts on the trans! you can bolt it all together and mark it and then pull the trans back out but i am too damn lazy for that. hawkrod |
