Hey guys
Would any one have a second hand converter to suit a c4 bolted up to a 289 Windsor they want to sell.... Something stock and second hand will be fine  :thumb:

Where abouts are you, i have a set of advance tri-y's i have just taken off mine u can have. also have  the rest of the exhaust sytem also (2inch pipes).
Only issue is the system was fully welded and i cut the pipes just back from the bell housing so i could pull the motor out.
I have the standard torque converter out at moment, still debating wether to get a high stall one as new engine getting built is a 347

What size is the flex plate ... 157 or 164 tooth ?  Convertors are different sizes & internal splines are different.

After bead blasting, it's worse than what I thought. The runner with the piece missing has cracked about an inch into the runner, and 2 more bolt holes have cracks through them.

And thanks anyways slugger it's for the misus Xm falcon wagon I'm putting the 289 and auto in it for her. I'm just lucky they are pretty much a early mustang underneath so makes it easy for the spare parts that came of the 65 coupe.

What size bell housing are you using? Large or small? I might have a couple of old manifolds that you can have also a small converter to suit the 157 tooth flex plate with the small bell housing.

I couldn't tell you what size the bellhousing is. Whatever size it is I will have to run with it as I've had it modified to suit the coloum shift linkages.
