C4 transmission
I'm starting to look for a tranny for the '65. I decided to keep it old school and I will go with a C4 transmission.
I have a '93 Cobra motor that I will be going carbed and a normal dizzy ignition.
The car will also have a '71 Maverick 8" rear end in it.
I found this on JEG's.
Bell housing

Tranny

Will this bolt up to the '93 Cobra motor and car itself with out issue?
I didn't know if I would have drive shaft length issues to deal with or not.

The 93 Cobra motor should be a 5.0. If it is the two items you linked to JEGS will work behind that engine. If that is the way you want to go I would call JEGS and ask them before ordering. Your old drive shaft will work but I'm just not sure of the length of the trans. The trans specifies 70-83 years. I'm not sure why it would not be 67-83 years. Ask JEGS.

I called up JEG's and this is what they said I will need.
For the tranny I listed http://www.jegs.com/i/TCI/890/511238/10002/-1
I need this bell housing.

157 tooth 50 oz. flex plate
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...archTerm=50239
A mild torque converter
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...rchTerm=451300
I can use this pulley kit to allow me to use a single V belt and the stock 50 oz. harmonic balancer.

I'll need a normal rotation water pump

Fly wheels are for standard tranny's, flex plates are for Automatics, it took me a while to figure that one out. They serve the same function, but they are different.
The Cobra motor had a standard tranny behind it so it had a 50 oz. fly wheel and not a 50 oz. flex plate that is needed for a automatic, thus my need for a flex plate for the automatic.
Any advantage/disadvantage between a 157 tooth and a 164 tooth flex plate?
I got your PM, I'll PM back.
