Looking for C4
#1
I think I need to go to a C4 for my rock racer. Does it bolt direclty to a Dana 20?
Who has a C4 they need to get rid of?

Carl - For some reason Ford had several different adapters between the 3 spd. and D20 and C4 and D20. Output shafts vary +/- an inch or so on different trans. I think this is right - I'm going off of a site I saw about a year ago when I was doing the same conversion.

If you can find a C4, hopefully it will still be mated to the D20 and you won't have to worry about finding a matching set. If you can find them mated already, it is a simple bolt on conversion - same x-member and same driveshaft angle, all you'd have to find is a auto shifter.

Let us know if you find one.

Carl, the c4 has a removable bell housing, and used diffrent adapters depending on what it was in. You will need, a c4 with small block bellhousing, adapter for the dana20, intermediat shaft. Your intermediat shaft is diffrent since it was from a stick.
My suggestion would be to get a junk unit with the t-case attached.
Since the front output on yours is not correct that would fix that too.
Have it overhauled with kevlar clutches and bands.

Not to hijack the post, Carl... But quick question for ya Matt. Any particular rebuild kit, or is the Autozone kit fine as long as they're kevlar?

Thanks,
JayT

Like mentioned before, it is best to find a C4 out of an EB. You will need the bearing retainer/spud shaft for the D20 to the C4. Find a tranny and bring it down. I'll build you one that will take anything you can put it through:xyxthumbs:
