Don't have one, but......
C4s are very stout when built right. They are also a very simple trans when compared to an AOD, AODE, or 4R70W. They have the drawback of only having 3 gears. With low gears, they can get some horid gas mileage, if that matters to you. A properly built AOD can handle vast amounts of horsepower. Check out PA, Art Carr, Lentech, Redneck, etc for more information.

+1 A C4 is a GREAT tranny if built right... but they do not have an overdrive so they are not too streetable unless you can dish out the extra cash for gas every week.

I got a c4 , with reverse manual valve body translab shift kit, and a trans brake and a 3500 stall converter . It is basicly bulit proof to replace teh trans with one like i already have it would cost about 1700 dollars. Gas is okay as long as u take it easy but , Your in a mustang. that like say dont touch the dancer in a strip bar
