Is a c4 tranni a big deal??
Sure, race only use a C4. That makes sense just to save the weight difference over an AOD.I disagree the c4 can be built much stronger if you have the money to drop on a PA supercomp c-4 it will have all the upgraded internals. Extra light casing it's the best racing transmission for ford.. If you are raving you don't have to do do any extra shifting to make sure it stays in 2nd.. When the light turns green just hold on!!!

Note: the reason I say the AOD is almost as good as the C4 is that above 500 hp the AOD must use a solid input shaft which does away with the locking converter. You end up with a very loose converter (because of the high stall speed) that generates much more heat than the C4 (2 - 3 times as much) because of the OD.

So that being said for street car choose AOD but if u wanna race I like the c-4's

You have to love those divorce sales lol.. that's how I got my current mustang at a ridiculous cheap priceTrojan Horse said:Or more by the time you get the clutch set up to go with it.. I'm only dreaming.
BUT, sometimes you can get lucky.
I always have my eyes peeled for deals, divorce sales etc.
Dam nice for you lol. My current/first stang was a divorce stang, but i was young and in love with it and payed what he asked which i dont think still wasent bad (5250) I think. Since have droped a lot on it lolTrojan Horse said:Yeah, they can be quite beneficial, but some poor guy always loses his toys.
I got the deal on my car because the guy bought a new truck he couldn't really afford (what the dealer said). He wanted to keep the truck so I got a bargain on my car. Took 4-5 weeks of haggling, but he started at $12k (what he had in the car with receipts) and I ended up paying $5250 because the dealer and he thought it had blown a head gasket and that the rear end was going out. Turned out the leak was from a cooling system nipple that was capped with a rubber vacuum cap and the rear end noise was just because it had an Auburn Pro differential with no additive in the oil. :good:
Was it blown when u got it though? Mine was stock except CAI and catback90GTNovi2000 said:I paid $5800 for my current 90' gt
See lol now thats nice haha. Mine body and ecerything is in great shape just no power mods haha im doing my blower install in the next few weeks i hope just my first time doing this much by myself so i dont know how long it will take.90GTNovi2000 said:Exactly the way it sits except it had 2 sets of slicks and skinnies.. Yes 420rwhp fully built trans rear end etc.. The car is show worthy also

This I exactly how I bought it.. I've been offered 10k and turned it down..
I paid 500$ for mine. But 8500$ later its probably not as nice or as fast as yours. You got a Hell of a deal.90GTNovi2000 said:Well it depends.. Which blower are you looking at? I've seen a few with the 8.71.. Or are you thinking about a supercharger?
