Default 1967 Mustang engine swap Q's

I've had a 1967 coupe that came as a 6 banger for 6 months now, and its not cutting it for me. ive got the new 8" 5 lug rear end/suspension, and new front suspension and steering. ive purchased a 289, got all accessories with it including the radiator. I also need front discs, which i also need bigger spindles for... or should i go back to drums.... its manual braking by the way... so basically I just want to know if i can use the transmission from my 200ci 6 cyl and just get a 289 6-bolt bellhousing. Did 6 cylinder cars come with a c4 originally? how can i tell what type of tranny it is? i really dont want to buy a new one. I also need front discs, which i also need bigger spindles for... thanks for the info in advance

You should be able to bolt the transmission up to the 289 since the 6cyl has pretty much the same bellhousing.

And trans?

I also need front discs,
Why? You racing or just a hot-dog driver like me?

which i also need bigger spindles for...
No, you don't

or should i go back to drums.... its manual braking by the way...
And that's a problem because…? Drums are fine for most driving.

so basically I just want to know if i can use the transmission from my 200ci 6 cyl and just get a 289 6-bolt bellhousing.
You would need a bell and torque converter, and you'd still have the light-duty 6 cylinder version.

Did 6 cylinder cars come with a c4 originally?
Yes, even in 64. A special slip yoke was required in 64-65.

how can i tell what type of tranny it is? i really dont want to buy a new one.
It's a 6-cylinder C4.

I also need front discs, which i also need bigger spindles for...
No, you don't, on both counts.

so what could i do with the light duty 6 cylinder version? i found a flywheel on cal-mustang but where could i get the torque converter? and how much are they usually? im also still on the hunt for the 6-bolt bellhousing
