The C-2 isn't a Cruis-o-matic, there was a picture in the May NMRA Race Pages that shows the transmission. I talked to Joel the builder and he says it is a redesigned version of the powerglide. Ford didn't want to put a Glide behind the supercharged Super Cobra Jet Mustangs and testing with a C-4 showed inconsistent performance so they contracted with Joel to design the C-2 for them so that it would be both durable and consistently fast. It has its own unique, case-input shaft-torque converter and even dipstick. The internals are basically aftermarket Glide with a 1.80 gearset. Joel says the Super Cobra Jet Mustangs have a supercharged 5.4 putting out 1000 hp and runs consistent 8.80's at 156. If your interested you can contact Joel or Sean at Joel's on Joy @313-581-6266 for more info.

$5000.00? I'll pass too.

Also, truth be known. Ford gave/sold or whatever, the Powerglide to GM back in the early-mid 50's. GM made a few mods to call it their own, and there you have it. Appearantly, they're reasoning was to replace it with the Cruisomatic. EPIC FAIL! This came from my Grandfather years ago. And I dare say he knew more about Ford stuff than "anybody." Maybe even the "Ford" guys themselves. So, this is the same story I tell the GM boys when they ask me why I put a GM tranny in my Ford. It's actually kind of funny, 'cause they don't even argue, they just look at me with that just slapped in the face look, and walk away. Just think, if Ford (the guys that may still know about it) had known what a success it would turn out to be, maybe they'd have kept it around.
