RE: Which One FMX or C6 By Mike McQuesten - 10/17/2001 3:49:58 PM; IP 206.193.0.122 The FMX transmission is little more than the Cruisomatic. From a layman's point of view, and that's my point because I'm not a trans rebuilder, the FMX used a valve body that allowed for a 1 - 2 - D shift pattern like the C-6 and C-4. I've heard that the FMX is an okay trans just like the cruisos were. But they weren't as tough as the C-6. If you want a tough, durable, hard shifting Ford automatic, the C-6 is it. It robs a little more horsepower but it will take a beating if built right. As for a C-4 to a FE, that is done by some. It takes an adaptor and the correct bell housing. I've heard "rumors" that there were some FE C-4 transmissions used in the mid to late sixties, where else? Canada of course. They always got the cool stuff, i.e., those Canadian CJ heads. Again, this is a rumor and most likely a myth...the C-4/FE bell housing I'm talking about. For your F-100, I'd recommend going with a C-6.

This thread, so far...
