Me and my son removed the engine and transmission today.

Here are some pictures of the car and engine removal.

I got the motor and checked the transmission. The mount is 2 inches different between the C4 and the FMX. So to use the same drive shaft a different crossmember would be needed.

I got this information from CJ Pony parts on part numbers for the cross members.

C-4 & Manual is C7ZZ-6A023-D
FMX C9ZZ-6A023-A

I'm also trying to verify which heads this engine has. No part numbers on the outside of the heads. I pulled the valve covers off and the only number is 4A3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ed

If its a Cleveland you either have 2v or 4v heads. Easiest way to tell is on the corner of the head, near the intake manifold there will be a 2 or a 4 cast into it. If it doesnt have a number, but it is the Cleveland style canted valve head, then it has 351/400M heads on it. Some of those came without the number, and no 351/400M came with 4v heads.

Money! $$ Lots of it and patients..

Nice Car! Its a shame that its been sitting for soo long..

I have a 69 Grande with an fmx.. It seems to be a great transmission, I havent done anything but change the filter and oil and its running like a top..
