It is a masterpiece!!!

I know the story very well.....I was going to the races with Bill Hawk, Dale Shannon, and Jim Morgan (SS/GA) back in my 428 CJ and 351Cleveland days as I did the cylinder heads for each of them back then. Joe Threatt (sp?) from Calif. had a C4 in his Mustang at the Sports Nationals in Bowling Green Ky. when we were there and we found out about it when his driver out ran Bill for class. Yhis was before NHRA allowed the lighter wt. transmissions but the win allowed. The C4 was worth a little over a tenth back in the day. The C6 had a lot of drag and it was even hard to push the car in the staging lanes with a C6 in it.

C-6 ALWAYS had a lot of case flexing enough that they would split case.

I dont remember Jim Morgan ever splitting a C-6 case in his SS/GA Mustang. Neither did Bill Hawk when running one in his 71-72 351 Mustang. Both cars did large wheel stands and ran fast but Im sure some had problems.

Enough of a problem that Ford had Holman & Moody make a billet gridle for the pan rail and B & M later had one in their Catalog amd advt it to help cure the problem

In the race parts warehouse at H & M they use to stock bare C-6 case for the factory supported racer's I bought 25 FE Cases and 25 429 style cases when the had the closeout sale at H & M for $20.00 each

WHICH story; the real one, or the Denysenko fairytale about the EPA numbers that dictated C-4 transmissions in a bunch of Ford pickups to be sold in Canada??????? Fabrication at its finest...
