If I know nothing about furds how do I recognize a C4? Is there an easy way to tell? :(

I wouldn't know one if I saw it either. Maybe wxo or basementpaul can chime in on this one.

I could spot a C3 from a mile away, and a 4cyl 4spd trans from a 2.3, no problem, but a C4 I have no experience with. Sorry...

According to my resident Ford Guru, 'Scary Larry', '70 Maverick, 351w/C6/9in-3.55s, *straight axle*.....
The C6 is one piece housing with NO bolt on tail housing. And has three distinctive ribs in the casting, on top, ruining the full length of the trans. The C6 comes in three bellhouisng bolt patterns - 351w, 351m/400, 460. All C4s have a bolt on bellhousing.
