| RE: C6 for a MX |
| By Mike McQuesten - 03/05/2002 12:50:47 PM; IP 206.193.0.124 |
It was from this forum that I learned that there were '67-'69 Fords built with MX automatic transmissions. I had thought that all FE powered '67 & later Ford vehicles with automatic transmissions were C6s. I still have not seen a '67 or later full size Ford with the MX you have. But I know now they were built primarily with 390-2V cars. Actually I never looked very close at 2V cars and that may be a contributing factor to my ignorance.
The switch to a C6 should be very straight forward and reasonably easy. I would recommend locating a '66-'69 full size Ford/Merc that currently has a C6 and the vehicle is available for parts or purchasing completely. There are quite a few of these out there in 4 door and station wagon models that go real cheap. But with one of these, make sure it's a FE powered or was, and still has a C6. Now, you've got all the pieces you should need to make the swap.
However, there are people who have built an MX/FMX/Cruis-o-Matic to work fine. Yours already has the valve body that allows for a 1 - 2 - D shifting pattern. A good rebuild with shift kit may be all you need. |
