tranny question

[tmcalavy]

I've got a line on a good 300 I-6 and a C4 tranny to swap into my 69 F250 with 360 and C6 tranny. Got to wondering today if I will need to do any mods to make the shift linkage that's on my truck now work with the C4. I have the standard column shift...will the linkage mate to the C4?

there is some adjustment on the shift rods.

Thanks fordman, so the linkage will work but with some adjustment on the shift rods? I haven't bothered to crawl under the truck and look to see how the shift linkage/mechanism works. This is all new to me as I've never owned a Ford truck with an auto tranny...always had standards in the past.

you have to move your engine perches as well, luckily the mounting holes are already there
