Starter motor, driveshaft, kickdown linkage, cheap Chinese flare-nut wrenches, and bitchin' snowboard not included. Comes with ATF-soaked rag, 2x4s, and flattened cardboard box. Will not ship—local pick-up only. P.S. I just realized this is actually a photo of my new transmission, not the old core I pulled out of the...
I'm not talking about bathing suits. Remember the speedometer cable that caused so much controversy around here a few months back? Well, this is it—now removed from it's original home and tossed lovingly on my faux-woodgrain workbench. In case you can't tell from the photos, the plastic teeth are pretty...

The easiest tasks for today were the ones that were the most difficult yesterday. It only took about 30 minutes to back the transmission off the block, properly align the holes in the flex plate with the bolts in the torque converter, and bolt everything back down. I was also...

I bought this earlier today. Reportedly all C6s with the FE bolt pattern and which were made from 1972–197? (the end of the 6th gen F-series run) are essentially interchangeable. So I've got a used unit out of a 1975 truck that had a 360 or 390 in front of...
My truck needs a new transmission. I'm planning to swap it out once the weather gets warmer, but before that happens, I need to find a replacement. Specifically, I'm looking for a C6 to fit in my 1976 F-250 (2WD), which has a 390 FE engine. The problem, of course,...
