I probably shouldve added more info.... my truck has a 240/300 and the auto trans im swapping came from a 79 econoline 150 with straight 6.... with that being said, for the flex plate am i looking at one that is balanced or not bslanced? Thanks

So pulled the truck out of the garage today and installed my passenger side mirror and took her around the block.... must say i cant wait to get the transmission swapped over and will need to look into improving the manual brakes and what a chore to turn without ps lol

i am gathering up parts an i believe im close to the transmission swap....

What i have:
-c6 trans rebuilt
-kickdown cable
-trans cooler with lines
-trans mount
-flexplate

What i still need (feel free to chime in on something im missing):
-floor shifter (probably going with a b&m)
-new starter
-driveshaft

I feel like im missing items that are needed so again feel free to chime in....appreciate the help

I quickly painted the transmission.... friday i will begin the conversion, the no turning back point






Also i was curious if anyone could let me know roughly how many qts of fluid this c6 trans takes?

I just changed out a COM for a C-6. I bought a case of amsoil and had 1 and about a third of a quart left.

I should say that was for the torque converter as well.

Well spent a good portion of friday trying to get out the old transmission...its out so now i wait to put the new one in

So im looking to order a few more pieces for my transmission swap and was wondering what size and style fittings would i need for the trans where the cooler lines hook up to it? Looking to run hose instead of braided lines. Thanks

Not done with the swap... its slow going but here are some pics of the progress

Well the carpet is ordered

I was getting ready to ask the question of what linkage you used for your C-6 swap. Never mind I saw the floor shift. I have a C-6 and getting ready to swap the New Process four speed out and C-6 in.
