Thank guys for your opinions on this C4 thing. First I totally agree that a C6 will outlast a C4 anytime when it comes to high horsepower/tourque applications. I know the advantages of a C4 are in weight reduction and less friction thus providing more power to the wheels.
Yet.....I've seen two locals running C4s behind very powerful 460s. To the tune of both are mid to low 12's cars and both are street driven. Both trannys were built locally by pros using high quality parts. They've had no problems they say with the C4s. So for my friend's application, I think a C4 will work well with a mild 390, if.....we can find out how/where?
And I also read a lot of street rodder magazines and see all those specialized frames that a high dollar guy can purchase to build hisself the high dollar street rod that some can have built. Andy is not that guy. His '36 is full framed original. He's going to keep it that way. And he hasn't completely ruled out cutting out and modifying the X frame member but he'd like not to. According to him a 390 would be a nice fit with a C4...if he can find the right parts.
Boss Martians are a Seattle/Tacoma band! That's great 'cause we're a bunch of cold blooded N'westers who still like to have fun rockin' and not in chairs. My own son's band plays the Seattle area a lot, out on Aurora and downtown, Pioneer Square, 1st. ave., etc. I'll ask him tonight if he's heard of them. They may have a web site? Thanks for the heads up on this band, I'm lookin' for their stuff now.
