Thoughts about what? Will it fit? Yes, if it has an FE-style bell housing. Is it a good trans? Yes, if your engine is stock, or not far from it. Generally speaking, it's no dog. Is it a good choice? Sort of. If it works and you are not racing, it should be OK, depending on it's age and condition, of course. But, it is heavy (cast iron case), I assume it's used, and, if you plan to make any sort of power-enhancing improvements on the engine, you will quickly outgrow it.
The FMX is a revision of the old Cruisomatic, which was released by Ford post-war and was used behind FE engines since the FE was introduced in 1958. It is not popular, has little aftermarket support and can not tolerate the sort of torque that the C6 handles easily. My suggestion is that if you need a trans, and this one works, and you have the FE bell housing, use it. But secure a C6 and save to have it rebuilt with an eye to replacing that FMX in future, just in case.
Good luck with it! |
