How do I add overdrive to my C6 transmission?
How do I add overdrive to my C6 transmission?
Adding overdrive to a C6 is physically impossible, but the 4R100 can donate its forward planetary gear set for shorter first and second gear ratios. This creates a “wide-ratio” C6.
How many gears does a E4OD have?
four
The E4OD was introduced in 1989 and used in both light and heavy duty applications. The E4OD has four forward speeds and electronic shift controls replacing the hydraulic governor control mechanism of the C6.
Is there an automatic transmission for a Ford 351C?
And most recently shifting from 1st to 2nd is slipping real badly. So I think that it is time to either rebuild this current transmission, OR what I would like to do is try to find a compatible automatic transmission that would bolt up to my 351C…
Is the 351 C the same as the AOD?
The part I used was from Sealed Power and corresponded to OEM E0AZ-6375-A (164 teeth flexplate, 28.2 oz-in balance factor, 351W with AOD applications). The full write up on the swap is below. automatic transmissions. These transmission all have the same 3rd gear gear ratio taller than the C6 when in overdrive. The gear ratios are:
Why was the compression ratio too high on the 351M?
With a longer stroke, the compression ratio became excessively high with the 351-2V heads and flat top pistons. Ford engineers reduced the compression ratio by using a piston with a compression height that was too short and this led to an excessive deck clearance of 0.067″ compared to a 351-2V at 0.035”.
What kind of engine does a Ford 351 Cleveland have?
When the 351 Cleveland was discontinued after the 1974 model year, Ford needed another engine in that size range, since the production of the 351 Windsor was not sufficient. Ford took the 400 engine’s tall-deck block and de-stroked it with a shorter 3.5 in (89 mm) stroke crankshaft to produce a 351 cubic inch (5.8 L) engine.

What kind of compression does the Ford 351M have?
The 351M’s unique piston was a dished type that produced 8.0:1 compression. Interestingly, the 351 Cleveland built such a strong performance reputation and market appeal that Ford referred to the 351M as a “351 Cleveland” in their own marketing literature for at least the first couple years after the 351M was introduced.
When did the Ford 351M V8 come out?
351M production began for the 1975 model year and blocks were cast in the Michigan Casting Center or the Cleveland Foundry. The 351M was the last pushrod V8 block designed by Ford until the introduction of the 7.3-liter “Godzilla” engine for the Super Duty trucks in the model year 2020.
