Tranny is in the car!!!

May not seem like a big deal to some of you guys here, but I've spent the last few hours wrestling this damn FMX into my torino. Some will ask why I didn't go with a C6, and to be honest I DO have a C6 but it's in dire need of a rebuild, so I went with the "el cheapo" big bell FMX that I got for $50. Fluid in the FMX is clean and everything spins very nicely, I just have to finish bolting it up and connecting all the little stuff. Also, if anyone happens to have a spare bell housing bolt I would like to get it from you as I seem to have misplaced one of them, but other than that I should have the ol girl back on the road before my birthday

I just got an FMX out of my cougar, those things do NOT like B&M shifters

big chunk of iron.

Imagine if they made the E4 out of iron

WTG Matt. Them FMX's are big pigs. The bell housing bolt is just a 7/16" bolt, nothing special. Make sure of the length and get one at the hardware store.

Yeppers, that FMX, DRY is about as heavy as a C6 full of (burnt) fluid, lol. On the bright side they're durable (at least enough to live behind a warmed over 400) and take very little power to move, and are cheaper than dirt to get another one if I do manage to blow this one to pieces, lol.

Got the hurst 1/4 stick from Mike today, that's the next thing to go in the car

Just remember them old fmx trans some times need to warm up before they will move in the winter time.I ran a fmx in my 69 mustang coupe 2 years and raced it with the fmx fire it up waite for 3,4,or 5 mins and then it would go in gear load it and go racing it was ready then until I let it sit for 4 or 5 hours.
