What tranny in 68 Thunderbird with 429?

[Bigfoot]

Which C6?

[pbf777]

     Yes, C6, generally nothing special in the way of high torque or performance parts within.

With that big motor would the 1/2 shaft be cast iron or aluminum?

   Aluminum tailshaft housing , nothing special at all.  "Some" Lincolns had an odd output shaft with three (or so) splines but nothing in the Ford line had it. Not a source for a CJ iron tail housing.

     Yes, three on the C6's, 1966 to 1969/70?; but only two with the MX transmissions, 1961-1965.  The large square recessed reliefs in the shaft and slip sleeve accept a rectangular insert housing a row of needle bearings, this engineering exhibiting only a rolling verses the greater sliding resistance otherwise practiced, thou at a greater monetary cost; and permitting the least amount of resistance to the movement in the relationship of the transmission an drive shaft assy's; therefor assisting in providing the occupants of their "land yacht" the smoothest of rides as one traverses the unappreciated bumps in the road.     

     Also realize there is more than one cast iron tail housing for a C6, and only one (that I know of) being for the CJ.

Was wondering if there was another application where one could find a CJ C6.
If it comes out of a Torino will it fit a Mustang?

[gt350hr]

  Yes but beware that the column shift version has the wrong ( downward) shift lever. The rest of the parts are the same. Iron tails were also used on '70-71 429 CJ/SCJs.

Would a 70/71 tranny out of a floor shift 429 Torino bolt right in?

[68stangcjfb]

As long as the shift arm faces up, it will bolt right in.

     Sorry, perhaps I'm a little slow (actually, I know I am!  ), but I missed what Mustang it is your trying to bolt a CJ C6 into, with what engine?

69 R code
Has a C6 but wrong tail and servo.

Anybody got sumthin lying around.

[68stangcjfb]

I should clarify. A 68-69-70 428 CJ Mustang, Cougar and 68-69 Cyclone and Torino with the floor shift will interchange. A 70 or 71 Torino or Cyclone with floor shift will have a 429 which has a different bolt pattern than a 428 so that will interchange with a 71 Mustang 429. The tail shaft and servos will interchange regardless of shift arm or bolt pattern.

[gt350hr]

  +1 A 429-460 C6 Will "only " work on a 351"M" -400-429-460. A C6 for an FE will "only" work on a 352-428 and the 351C C6 will only work on a 289-351C. The "internals" and appropriate tail shaft housings all interchange. So NO a 429 C6 will not bolt up to an FE.
