Default ??'s about changing C4 to 4 or 5 Speed
Hey Guys,

This Spring I am disassembling my Cobra and having the body work finished, prepped and painted. At that time, I am planning on swapping the C4 Auto thats installed to either a 4-Speed or 5-Speed manual trans.

Anybody have any suggestions or recommendations that would make this change less painful???

My motor is a built-up 1971 351W. The Rear is 8" Ford. >> yes Eight inch...
I was wondering about bell housings, will I need to find a new one for what ever trans I go with, or will this one fit other Ford Trannys?? (I probably know the answer to this one).... Nothing usually EVER works with something else....

Also, will I have to have the driveshaft resized???

I bought the chassis already assembled with the C4. I would've gone a different route from the start... but........

Any Pros/Cons between 4 & 5 Speeds??

Would anybody have a list of what all I'd need to complete this swap???

Thanks,
RZ
