    FORD BIG BLOCK C6 TRANNY QUESTIONS

    As long as there is some oil in converter it will be fine . From memory you said it was a runner. If so i'd not fill it will soon fill as soon as it is started . As for shifter , there are many different levers on a C6 at the case . All depends what you have , it can be tricky to get a factory shifter to line up exactly to the shifter detents . Not impossible but takes some work . The American shifter setup aren't too bad . At least you'd know it will line up right . Those HP figures are a joke . Someone came up with them years ago and honestly they are laughable . Seriously if someone lost a second with a gearbox swap they need more power lol

    Like this one the most, I'd drive that around. Nice little 347 Weezer, side pipes, and a "Go-Baby-Go" button. Swoyt.!

    See, not so crazy after all. The blue one isn't right though, too short and just looks like a cut wagon. Silver one looks pretty much the way I drew it. They didn't make the tray taller but looks like they grafted on a ute tail. Ford should have made that concept. That's almost exactly what I had in mind when I thought "if I had money, I would replace the wagon with...." (long blank pause coming up with nothing newer that I'd actually own) Edit: I had a closer look at the cars in the links, they're all good options but I had problems with the aesthetic of each in one way or another. The blue is closest to the mark because it has the details of a normal car, just needs a slightly longer tray. The silver one is probably the right size but the ute graft LOOKS like a graft despite what the article suggested. I would keep the lines, bumpers and details of the original wagon I think. I don't like the way they did the rear window/ute join up. The bit that is up above the wagon roof, nope. The concept has the desired dual cab silhouette. I like the suicide rear doors idea, don't like the front bumper treatment or particularly the raised clearance look. Or the colour [emoji13]

    I had a half thought again... Dangerous I know.. Came from the notion that a four door ute like the commodore thing would be useful at times but I just couldn't buy a crapadoor if my life depended on it. So, photochop to the distraction, I mean rescue... Lengthened the tray area by about 8-10 inches and raised the sides by I don't know, maybe 6 inches or so. It's sloped a bit so it's deeper near the front and down to the tail light. You can see it's a reverse light higher there. ... Dunno, I think I'd drive it, not sure exactly how useful the back would be but if I could carry a welding gas bottle without a trailer it would be worth it lol

    FORD BIG BLOCK C6 TRANNY QUESTIONS

    Re: someone claiming they lost a second on the quarter... If true, it was either a pretty sick gearbox or the C6 has a huge amount of internal drag compared to a C4. Otherwise, it's a wild exaggeration in my opinion. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk
