[Tigers] Auto tranny ????'s

                There is an article about the C4 install in the CAT Shop
Notes by Jerry Fantz.  I'm not sure if those Shop Notes are online

Looks like it is a near drop in.

Need:

Kick down cable

Vacuum hose to trans

Trans cooler recommended

Dipple drive tunnel area for trans fill tube - a flexible tube may eliminate
that 

Longer drive shaft or use spacer on differential

Automatic shifter mechanism

Any experience out there with installing a C4 trans in a Tiger?  I have one
on my shop storage shelf and a 5 bolt bell housing to attach it to an early
SBF. I also have a 6 bolt BH as well (I think) and a pile of race motors of
each kind. Have an older 289 5 Bolt with period correct head work and pop up
pisons, hipo crank etc, a 302 Mex block with most of the internals from the
fastest Sunbeam runs on the salt, and a 5 bolt true 260 in the race acr that
would accept the trans.  What's a mother to do, lol.    And a rear end with
soon to have posi and 2.88 gear set. Seems a perfect match to me. 

 

Problems or issues with swapping the HEH for a C4? 

 

Just curious for now.
