RE: FE w/C4
By McQ - 02/19/2003 10:16:12 PM; IP 65.176.105.195
There never was a factory FE engine with a factory C4. There's lots of great myths that have been put forth over the years. My favorite was the Canadian Mail delivery vans......those Canadians had all the good stuff like Canadian CJ heads and C4s behind FEs. Seriously there's no such thing as a factory C4 behind an FE. A cruisomatic/FMX looks a little like a C4 because it has a seperate bell/convertor housing. But a little closer glance and no it's not a C4 it's a mighty Cruiso!

However there is a transmission building company that is producing an adaptor to allow for a C4 to FE. I can't remember which one right now but I might have it if I check around enough. Search FE/C4 and you'll probably find it. I do remember it's not an inexpensive item.

And someone on this forum has indicated that adapting a C4 to a cruiso convertor housing should be doable. Good luck.

But you're right that a C4 would be a much nicer fit than a C6. How about a Lentech AOD? That'd be real nice with 4.11s. Kind of make up for those log/box exhaust manifolds, speaking of which...

Yes they're very restrictive but they're functional for an all around driver little Fairlane with a 390/428. If you're thinking you have to have headers then you better consider buying Charles Crites' T-bolt convervion kit or just spend a couple-o-grand replacing the entire fron suspension of the Fairlane/Meteor with a Pinto/'stang II/Bobcat system.

I just have to say that I trust Travis Miller a lot. I've learned a lot from his numerous informative posts to this forum. But before I'd go crazy on a project like this I'd want to do some serious measuring/checking and mocking this possible installation up. I just can't get that scene I personally saw of the FE & box/log exhaust manifolds doing the bump with the shock towers of a '66 Cyclone GT. Not a pretty dance to see. But then again the upper control arms/shock towers on a '62 - '65 Fairlane are totally different.
This thread, so far...
