C-4/FE Bellhousing Myth
By Travis Miller - 10/17/2001 6:37:20 PM; IP 205.188.199.57
The myth was exposed a few years ago. It seems that an industrious transmission builder cut the front section off of a C-6 case online with the front pump and then welded the flat rear surface off of a C-4 bell housing to it. He then used it as a mold and had new fake bell housings cast saying that they were off of a Canadian 352 1/2 ton F-100 pickup truck.

As for strength in a pickup, go with the C-6. Modifications will include moving the crossmember rearward as the mount sits further back on a C-6.
