Why do the C4 Adapter sold from Bronco graveyard require that The spud shaft bearing from your manual intermediate housing be used? In the original housing there is nothing. It just goes over the tail shaft and you bolt it to the transmission then you bolt your Dana 20 to it….
“The adapters we manufacture will normally require the installation of new output shaft.”
So is the output shaft that they offer the same as a stock output shaft or is the length different?
TRANSMISSION INFO: This 3 speed transmission was used in Ford trucks during the years of 1964 to 1981. We recommend obtaining a 1970 & newer transmission for conversions. The transmission case length is 11.180" and with the bell housing measures 17.00". This transmission was used on small block Ford engines. The adapters we manufacture will normally require the installation of new output shaft. The 1st gear ratio is 2.46:1; 2nd 1.46:1; and a 1.1 3rd gear ratio.
KIT INFO: This kit includes transmission main shaft, intermediate housing and bearing retainer. This will adapt any ford C-4 automatic transmission. The spud shaft bearing from your manual intermediate housing must be used.
We recommend using the largest external cooler available for maximum transmission life. The new Adapter will bolt directly to the stock cross member. This kit does not require changing the front or rear drive shafts.
