67 Mustang 4r70w Transmission Swap

[@ToneDeafGuru]

Thanks for posting this, something I’ll definitely look into.

This is my first time making one of these videos, so bear with me.

Hey there, did freshen up the trans, or install as is ? If not, did you have them, add 2 clutch bands? My research says, the V6 version, has two spacers, in place of two clutches, the OEM V6 didn't need.. Thanks, and good luck.. I plan on installing one myself, in a 65 Fastback...

[@dihlonbecker3965]

I didn’t have anyone go through it. A local transmission shop wanted $1700; screw that. I only paid $300 for the transmission. It’s a 2002 model, and from what I understand, the 98-02 are the most desirable models.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dihlon! I run a built C-6 behind my 67 Mustang Gt with a 460 BBF. Off Hand, does anyone know if I could mate the 4R70W behind the 460? I also run 4:11 gears. Thanks for any feedback on this. Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.

[@dihlonbecker3965]

It would not work with your current motor. The 4r70w has the SBF bell housing pattern.

[@Lilzsnr]

You can use an E40D from a 460 but you'd be advised to build it with better parts if you're going to rag on that thing.

[@robertpearson8989]

Do you have the part number for the spicer slip yoke? I’m getting ready to swap a 4r70w in our 68 cougar. Thx.

Great video. I've got an AOD-E behind a SBF here in the UK but I've just grenaded the 2nd stock trans and now looking at a 4R70W but want to know how folks are getting on with the wide ratios, especially in first. It's about 50/50 between guys that love them and hate them right now. How did you get on with the 2.84 first gear ratio?

[@dihlonbecker3965]

@@Lilzsnr I’m running 4.11 gears out back, so between that, 2.84 1st gear, and 363 RWHP, I bang the rev limiter almost instantly when heavy on the throttle; even with drag radials. It should have an awesome 60’ with slicks though. I’ll find out as soon as it starts to cool down here in southeast Texas.

[@TheJoefussGarage]

What block plate and starter did you use, for your conversion? I just picked up, a "98" Mustang V6 4R70W. I confirmed the SBF bolt pattern, though the starter position is not the same as for, the old AOD V8 block plate used to check the bolt pattern.What year and model block plate and starter did use for you job? Thanks .

[@dihlonbecker3965]

The block plate is CJ Pony Part# TSP12. The inspection plate is CJ Pony Part# INSP10. I used the same starter I was running in my C4. Don’t forget the 164 tooth flex plate.

[@TheJoefussGarage]

Understood, thank you very much sir. Adding it to my 65 Fastback, lookin forward the same results you had!!!@@dihlonbecker3965

[@dihlonbecker3965]

No problem. Good luck with your swap!

[@VegasRT500]

What is your 4th gear overdrive gear ratio in that 4R70W trans? Do you know what rpm you are at when going 70mph or 80 mph with those 4.11 gears? How tall a tire are you running? Sorry for all the question but much appreciated if answered.

[@dihlonbecker3965]

OD is 0.7. With a 28” tire, it ran 75 at 2500 rpm, and 82 at 3000 rpm with the converter locked. I’m now running a 26” tire, so it’s obviously running higher rpms at those speeds now.

Are you running a 302 with that transmission?
