Monster C4 Thread Text - Edited (Way Long) Version2

Greg, its a 26x26 and it won't scratch so its hardened.

I'd rebuild it and run it. At that power level you should be good to go with a decent rebuild and a shift kit. If you want to prep for a bit more power, go with the Red Eagle frictions and call it a day. I wouldn't bother to rollerize it or to do the oiling mods (one guy's humble opinion.)
Even though the 26x26 is a rarity, it doesn't matter. Run it. The convertor end is the same as the later 26x24 so the later 26 spline convertors all work.
Good luck.

Can you give me the rebuild kit/shift kit and red eagle #'s or type of kits and a recomendation as to where to get them. Also I have the factory torque converter but no flex plate. Any recomendations on ether? Will the factory starter work with it? Thanks for all your help

Spend a little time on www.bulkpart.com and it will be worth your while. Email me and I'll send you an excel spreadsheet with all the numbers on it. The master kit with Red Eagle frictions was (by now it may be a diff price) $64 and the part number is HP25005R. Master kit includes paper gaskets, rubber lip seals, O rings, pan gasket, metal clad seals, sealing ring kit, friction clutch plates and steel clutch plates. In addition to the master kit you might buy bands, thrust washer kit, bushing kit, pump gears, sprag spring roller kit, a modulator, that ought to do it.....Good luck.

Thanks for your help .I'll let you know how it goes.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

Done deal Matt. As the casino owners say to "gamers", thanks for your contribution.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I have a 1975 Cougar XR7 with a 351M and a C4 (it has the big bellhousing).

I am almost done rebuilding a 460 for this car. I was going to go with a C6, but after reading the excellent C4 monster thread, I am considering rebuilding a C4.
I read that the C4 can handle lots of horsepower, but my car is being built for towing. The 460 will put out 500+ ft-lbs at low revs pulling a total of 7000+ lbs, which is not quite the same as 500 hp at 5000 rpm in a 3500# car.

I have located a E2T code C5 that I can pick up for $200 Cdn.
Would it live?

For that I would get a C-6, geartrain in a C-4 is small for that kind of sustained load.
