    C-4 trans for a 33 FORD

    The 53 has a 3.54 I drove it with the Fordomatic shifting very poorly and slipping! The C4 is Ok at 55 0r 60, but turns the stock 239 pretty hard at interstate speeds. I do not have a tach on it so I cant tell you what it is turning.

    My current ride

    I have one with the Sherman auxiliary trans in it, It is overdrive, direct and under drive. The only bad thing is the pto is controlled by trans speed. You don't want to put the mower in gear in O.D. Boy it will sing to you then!

    My F1

    I have one in my neighborhood, looks like the front bumper is dragging the ground! He opened the hood to show me the engine compartment, steering is all cobbled up motor on a weird angle.
